Parent Teacher Conference

As we've got a big hush-hush trip coming up tomorrow, Daddy spent the entire day at work - although we did start out the morning with our first parent-teacher conference.  At 7:00 am this morning.  Good grief, why'd it have to be so early?

Still, there was plenty of good news there!  Madison has to know 50 sight words by the end of the year, and she's already on top of 42.  In other areas, she can write her numbers up until 49 (although she was able to go unofficially to 100 later on in the evening).  Also, she can count by tens to 100, and is doing well in other areas also.  We feel really good about her teacher, Mrs. Garrett, who seems to be always on the ball with creative ideas for learning.

Work at the office went well, so Daddy won't be staying up too late for last-minute arrangements.  Madison and Mommy called us at the office, which was great - Skype is a wonderful tool!

Madison is dressed up like a pirate again.  She has no idea where she's going tomorrow - this is going to be a great surprise!  Mommy spent a lot of the day packing while Madison was at school, and we're all very excited to make a quick trip out of here.  The other thing Mommy did was get insurance and registration taken care of for the new car in the house.  We'll take it on our maiden voyage tomorrow... can't wait!
