We went to Central Texas BBQ for Glenn's birthday. There were many items of memorabilia (for lack of a better word) and we had to take the opportunity for a picture with this mummy!

This guy was on our porch one morning a few weeks ago, I couldn't believe it!

Ella's kindergarten teacher is really the best, and she comes up with the neatest learning experiences for the kids. Last month Ella came home very excited because she had brought in an incubator full of chick eggs. Ella learned a bunch about how chicks hatch, they did experiments to predict which eggs had chicks in them and which didn't, and she was anxiously awaiting "chick day" when they would hatch.  We had many, many conversations about the chicks in the days leading up to the hatching day. 

The day finally came and did not disappoint. Some pictures from the class blog - 

They have been watching them grow and change since they hatched. This has definitely been one of Ella's favorite lessons of the year.

This was so sweet. She kept Andy entertained by counting his toes, over and over and over. He just happily stared at her while she counted as high as she could. So cute!
