Great Accomplishments









It has been a week of great accomplishments. Buttercup and cousin Morgan were both awarded the Presidential Academic Excellence Award for maintaining an "A-" or greater average in both fourth and fifth grade and passing all parts of the Ohio Achievement Tests.


Cousin Katie had a wonderful final performance in the Oak Hills Orchestra. She is a First Chair violinist. It was great to be able to attend the concert and actually get to hear her play instead of just "hear about it".

Snapdragon climbed up the playground climbing wall all by herself.
Only 13 more days until we go home to Tennessee! We miss you, Daddy!

Parks, Toes and Marshmallows






































Here are a few pictures from some of our adventures in Cincinnati. We took Travis and Snapdragon to the Cincinnati Zoo a couple of weeks ago. The tulips were beautiful. This past Tuesday, we went to Discovery Gardens and then over to Uncle Jerry's to make Smores by his fire pit. I painted my toes yesterday and Snapdragon wanted her's done, too.
