The Sounds of Science

We enjoyed a fabulous week of warm and sunny weather so we took several evening walks and got in several visits to the neighborhood playground.

On Thursday, Lily's school held a Science Exploratorium in which the children participated in many different science experiments in the different classrooms. In Lily's classroom, the Rainbow Bears, the experiment was how a scab forms - kind of disgusting but very interesting. There are pictures of Lily hung up at school watching the chemical reaction experiment with vinegar, baking soda, a bottle, and balloon, and she was apparently very nervous that the balloon was going to pop. She also learned about how a garden grows, earthworms, and musical chimes.

On Saturday, Lily had a breakfast date with Grandpa Maurice, and then we enjoyed the rest of the day playing in the backyard. Lily even helped our neighbor pick up sticks in her yard so they would not get stuck in the mower - for some reason though when we ask her to pick up sticks in our yard she somehow always gets distracted! Saturday evening we went to Naomi and Jonah's house for a Passover Seder - the kids had fun and the food was delicious.

Jack has found his voice this week, he likes to babble for long periods of time - and especially babbles and laughs when Lily talks to him. He is definitely rolling over onto his belly but we have still yet to witness it.

Lily and Jack want to wish everyone a Happy Passover!
Lily and Jack send out Happy Birthday hugs and kisses to Uncle Stephen.
Lily and Jack also send out Congratulation hugs and kisses to Aunt Kelly who was accepted into business school at University of Colorado Boulder - so now both aunts will be in CO as of this summer - makes it easier to go visit!

P.S. Baby Girl Ward is officially one day late, so needless to say Tracy is more than ready for her arrival, we'll keep you posted!
