Frog and Toad and "I don't know"

Gretchen taped Claire reading to herself tonight. Claire is definitely feisty when it comes to reading, but she's really coming along with the self-directed reading. Note that she skips stuff she doesn't know by saying "I don't know". I'm sure she's going to be filling in those blanks pretty soon.

You thought I forgot about you!

I've been so bad at blogging lately. We've sold our house, made an offer on a new house as well as we've gone through just about everybody being sick lately. I've been trying to train for Cycle Oregon - in September - and pack up the house so we can move back in with Mom and Dad for the summer (thanks Greg & Betsy!). The kids are huge and Gretchen's got a new job. How's that for a quick update?

Now here's a link to a discussion about "Miracle Fruit", which Mark was so kind as to give me for my birthday last year. I thought it was amazing that it could make a lemon taste like lemon drops! Magic Fruit Turns Sour to Sweet
