Back to School

On Friday, January 6, I had a day out while Natey stayed home with Beepa.

First, I surprised Sage and Sophie at Pembrook Elementary.  Just as Jess organized this for Sophie last year, she arranged for me to be the "Mystery Reader" for Sage this year.  We had to hide out for a bit, but I stayed busy playing with the stuff in Jess's class.

Finding just the right letters 

Viola!

I read Dog Loves Books to the class. They had read it before, but were very nice about reading it again.  When it was time to ask questions, one of the kids asked, "Did you bring anything to give us?"  Ahh, from the mouths of babes.  Here's the video:

Surprise!

Next, we surprised Sophie during her math lesson. I never get tired of doing this!

Awwww

Yay for surprises!

Time to let her get back to math lesson

After school I met Michelle for a "final drink" (for me, not her) before she gives birth.  It was nice to just have a little one-on-one girl time.  Update:  Cecelia Ann Tobin was born on Monday, January 9! Mom and baby are doing well.

Later, we had a Sisters Happy Hour and met up again with Michelle as well as some close friends of Jess's.

Sisters!

TGIF and thanks to Beepa for watching Nathan!
