Houston Zoo

We visited the zoo on a warm, cloudy day. It was a very nice diversion.
Maya says her favorite was the giraffes. Nico liked the many different monkeys.
       The meerkats are always friendly!

                Look at those horns!

       A little brushing of the goats.....

       And watching the koi swim by.

Painting Pumpkins

It has become an annual tradition we hope to continue. Pizza, painting and friends welcome fall.


Change

Maya lost a tooth Friday evening, with her daddy's help. Then this morning I cut bangs for her. It's all quite a change! 

1st grade

I have decided 1st grade is a lot harder than kindergarten! It comes with homework 3 days a week, plus reading assignments and even a research report on flying squirrels due in 2 weeks.

BUT, it also comes with being able to check out books from the school library, art class, P.E., and a wonderful teacher named Mrs. Adams. She likes to cook! So Maya brought home a little apple pie tart that she made in class on Tuesday. And it was tasty!
