Dear Elise,

Here are your lesson notes from 3/8/2016:

Note to Cora:
Hello, Elise! I hope your family has been enjoying this beautiful weather! Cora wanted to pick out the song to play today, but unfortunately, she picked a song that was too difficult. I attempted to teach her about skips and steps with the "pancake" song on page 63, but I ultimately decided to go back to page 27. Cora plays all the piano keys so well! She is so energetic in singing our note song - maybe she can sing it to you at home? We looked at the "escalator" song and Cora was very excited to learn how to spell a new word! I hope you enjoy your week!

Sincerely,
Traleen

Happy 4th birthday Cora! ... and Nana and Baba meet Elliot

Happy 4th birthday to Cora! She celebrated by having breakfast with daddy, lunch at Chipotle, ice cream at Graeter's, lots of thoughtful gifts from  her Magee and Clerkin family, a bouquet from Aunt Jennifer, a cake from mama, and a basketball game with Nana and Baba! Cora Ann, you are loved.














Also, Elliot John meets Baba John and Nana Beth.






Elliot meets his Nonnos, and Cora celebrates her 4th birthday a few days early






(Side note: Thank God for the Nonnos. They were visiting while Josh, Cora, and I were all struck with a terrible sickness. We were so lucky and thankful to have their support during this tough weekend!).
