I can read!!

May 31, 2008


I am so behind!!!  Between school, baseball, the 5k run/walk, the after party prep, finalizing the new 2009 “Inspire” calendar (which is amazing!!), tutoring, board meetings, birthday parties and my own partying I am buried!!  I usually don’t complain but what the?????   OK better now!

GiGi started back in the free literacy program at the Playhouse and she is learning to read a book  a week!!  She is even getting the phonics component!!   Here are a couple of pictures of her and her tutorer Beth.  She is amazing and a VOLUNTEER!!!!!   The Playhouses are so blessed to have people like this teach our kids.  A book a week!!  Sorry, did I say that again??  We were reading earlier today and I am just so blown away by her progress.
