Each mother passes a gift to their child--mitochondrial dna.  So all of these have the mark of Tara--a daughter of Eve and it came from me and my many mothers.

Vice President

Sigrid is an officer in her National Honor Society.  She ran and won!  She told me yesterday she was nervous about the election.  Nervous no more—winner for sure.

Nails of purple

Erin and Ada practiced leaving the house yesterday.  They went to a garage sale.  Maybe she said at Branson.  They were away for over an hour I am sure and it all went well.

I put a gift certificate for Siggie to get her nails done in her Easter basketball.  She chose lavender.

Clayton likes these shirts with thumb hooks.  Erin bought him one yesterday.  I think it was new not at the garage sale.

Super hero day at Greta's school!

Erin got Greta a new rain coat and this cute outfit.  Pretty sure she said the outfit was from the garage sale she and Ada went to. 

Yesterday was book character day at Greta's school.  She was Mrs. Wishy Washy.  I love her look!

Teach, Love, Inspire

 Ada is growing but still very, very small.  I enjoyed rocking her today.  I sang songs but sometimes she frowned.

 This little student gifted Laura with special earrings.

Astrid used this old window to display some of her photos.  What a great idea.

Ada’s Birthday

 Ada got presents.  She is a calendar month old. Erin bought her a mobile and new clothes.  She is almost to new born size.

Ada is a Headline

Ada is 4 Weeks

Sweet Friend

 Ada resting today.

 Astrid added chicken wire to the corner cabinet she bought off Facebook.  So neat looking.
And my New Patsy sent me a loaf of banana bread.  So good with my coffee.

Greta Says

Everyone wants to hold her baby sister!

New Duds For Ada

Laura found these used from teacher at Oakland.  They are all size 0-3 months.  I will deliver them next week.  Maybe on Wednesday.  There are more than these!  So Ada is set for summer.
