    • Montessori - Breaking from Tradition
      2

      I have to say that I knew absolutely nothing about Montessori schools before Heatherdawn took the time to research their history. There's really no way to determine for certain if Kadie's performance is due to the school's teaching methodology. But what can be said is that her aptitude is certainly not suffering as a result of this non-traditional approach. Heatherdawn was tied up with a deployment at work all day yesterday. So Kadie and I spent the entire day playing various games from Barbie...

      2

      Well today has turned out to be a pretty good day, despite a heat index of 105-110 degrees.

    • What a Great Weekend!
      2

      Just figured I'd post up a quick note and say hello to everyone out there. I don't know what everyone else's weather was doing this past weekend, but ours was beautiful. Well, to be more accurate, Sunday and Monday were beautiful. Saturday was rainy and overcast all day. But because we were home yesterday, it was really a three-day weekend for us. Temperatures were averaging around 70 degrees with very low humidity. Kadie and I went out and washed the FJ just for an excuse to get outdoors. She...
