Emma's Birthday
May 29, 2014 by Adam in Emma
Emma turned 11 yesterday. She's unfortunately been sick the last few days and stayed home from school for the happy day. We threw a little celebration for her over the weekend. She got art supplies from Duncan, a Raven action figure from Berry, and a tablet and related protective supplies from the rest of us.
It's hard to believe she's getting so mature these days. I think she's past 5' at this point. I went to the parent night at her middle school where she'll go next year. My little girl is growing up.

Return from Outdoor School
May 17, 2014 by Adam in Emma
 Emma came back from outdoor school today. She was camping near the beach for three days. When I picked her up, she talked non-stop about her cabins, her counselors, her friends, and made me sing all sorts of camp songs with her. She ate wild berries and rutabaga, caught ghost shrimp, and played in tide pools. She cleaned up after ever meal, that being her camp duty, and ate sandwiches for every lunch. She learned the real names of her counselors only on the last day, and the last campfire session was sad as everyone was leaving. She made new friends with classmates she'd known all year. There was a 15 minute walk to the bathrooms. She only took one shower the whole time, for 2 minutes long.
In a nutshell, she had a great time. I'm really happy for her.

Outdoor School
May 13, 2014 by Adam in Emma
 Emma is off to her 5th grade Outdoor School, heading to the coast to spend three days packed in cabins with her classmates and tromping around in the mud and water. She's been nervous and excited, but I think she'll have a good time. I think she's really looking forward to spending so much time with Kate and her other friends. We packed up her yellow bag and got it to her school on Monday. This morning we sent off a letter to her, in hopes she'll get it before she leaves. It'll be nice to see her back on Friday.
