Local honey!

Four hives and at least that many years later, we tasted the honey from the first real harvest of honey today. Our amazing neighbor, Iain has been on a mission fr several years to learn bee keeping. A group of us all chipped in to buy the hive, and he has taken the lead on tending the hive (and replacing and troubleshooting every time we lost a hive).
The verdict? Delicious! Thank you Iain!

Soccer Clara

Clara and the Dragonflies had their last game today. Clara rocked as goalie, and even scored one of the two goals of the game! I particularly enjoyed watching her get right in to the action with the ball.

Frustrations with scheduling and league communication aside, it has been a fantastic season for Clara, who told me today that she is considering dropping gymnastics to focus on her new love, soccer.

School Pictures!

School pictures are in! After last year's debacle, there's a new company servicing our school, providing the same type of service, with less blatant gender-ism. Molly went in saying she wanted to look just like her regular self, so she didn't dress up or do her hair special. When I asked her how it went, she said it was fine, but the photographer wanted her to pat down her hair. Molly said she was fine with that, she didn't really care that much and the photographer seemed to care a lot.
