To the Core

As always, the Surratt Pack has been busy! Last week, we had our first teacher/parent conferences at the new school. Riley was described by her teacher as "extremely sweet and respectful", "above average", having "great penmanship", "loved by everyone in the class", and a "giggle bunny". Over all, it was a great meeting:-) Kyle's was also glowing. His teachers adore him and find him to be super sweet and listen very well (we are not sure why that doesn't occur at home!) He is ready to move up to the next class and should do just as well with the bigger kids.

In the past couple weeks we have stayed busy. Eric cooked his annual massive batch of chili for a bunch of our friends and we had a fun afternoon/evening at the house catching up with old friends. Tracy helped plan and coordinate "Kids Give Back II" which was held this past weekend. The kids made Angels to put on their xmas trees (b/c they have been angels all year helping others) and also made a ton of wreaths to deliver to Ashland Convalescent Center.

Over all the weather has been so-so, but we have spend many days on the playground soaking up the last bit of decent weather. Riley is also still enjoying dance class and Kyle Romp-n-roll and both playgroup. Enjoy the pix and Happy Thanksgiving (early!)!!
