Here's Annike eating breakfast on the counter with her nightie on backwards and her jammie pants on inside-out (Soren is currently visiting with L's side of the family in MN, hence no RoRo pics):
Well, we got a call from our realtor yesterday morning, I happened to be at the mall trying on maternity clothes and was in the middle of pulling a darn panel up over my belly. The bank accepted our offer on the foreclosure, we close July 23rd. Crazy, huh? But then do ya wanna know something even crazier? After the call from Kristen, the realtor, the girls were asking me all about snow in MI. Usually when we talk about Michigan, I say things like "back home", "we", "our", etc. For the first time EVER, yesterday I referred to Michiganders at "they." Which can only mean one thing, actually it could mean any number of things but for drama's sake we'll go for the singular meaning, it means that I think of our family as Californian now. Holy cow!

Yesterday was Petra's last day of school. Her report card came home. She got the highest grades available to a 1st grader. Her teachers said "This has been a year of incredible growth for Petra. She is an advanced and fluent reader who practices her reading diligently and enjoys reading to her classmates. She is an excellent writer who demonstrates complex writing skills. She takes pride in her work and consistently turns in creative and accurate work products. Petra's desire to succeed, eagerness to learn, willingness and initiative to extend her learning, as well as her ability to be a leader to her classmates, will help her meet the challenges of second grade. She has been an absolute delight to teach!" Pretty darn good, huh?
Petra's last days of school:
June 14, 2006 - last day of preschool at the JCC with friend Anna.
June 7, 2007 - last day of school (kindergarten) at the Best School Ever (see side bar) with good bud Beatrix:
June 20, 2008 - last day of 1st Grade with Ms. Woolwine and Maddie:
Lastly, I need to replace this earring with a new set similar to it, any suggestions?
Peace out,

I can't help with the earrings, but you've got some hilarious kids. Sanna dresses herself with varying degrees of success, but woe to anyone who tries to stand in her way.
BTW, the email you sent ended up in my spam box, and I managed to see that it was there as gmail was working to delete all of my spam forever. Can you resend? I promise I won't delete it before reading it this time.
