Jude’s official 6th grade photo

It is school photo time so here are the official photos for both Jude and Anna. They are just the cutest kids you will ever see…

Anna’s official 4th grade photo

Anna had the day off school on Friday because of teacher conferences. Marcy and I met with her teacher and she is doing really well even though she still doesn’t love it at her new school. Then on Friday afternoon Marcy drove Anna to the mountains because she had a sleep away camp at Keystone Science School. It was called: Tech in the World of Fashion and Trends in  Outdoor Recreational Gear, and it was part of their Girls in STEM program and was for girls in 3rd to 8th grade.

Anna loved it. She made a headband using the latest high tech materials which she presented at REI and Marcy was there to see it. Anna made some new friends as well and intends to keep in touch with some of them.

Meanwhile Jude and I stayed home in Denver. On Saturday we did some community service that is required as part of his school. We went downtown to Volunteers of America where we got our assignments. We were to rake and bag leaves for some senior citizens around town. Our group of three families were assigned to three houses in the Hilltop neighborhood.

On Sunday we were supposed to do the Candy Run in Wash Park but it was cold and snowy and neither of us wanted to go so we stayed home and watched the Premier League soccer.

Finally, Anna went to the hairdresser this week and decided to get some color in the hair. She choose the aquatic color and she loves it. The color will last 6-8 weeks.
