Last Day
Today: Grace’s last day at Van Gorder Elementary. We’ve made a change that feels like the right thing to do. Grace will start Little Flower Elementary this year.
Big hugs to everyone at Van Gorder. Teachers, Administration and all the staff. And all the great Red Hawks who have shared great and fun friendships with Grace. We hope those friendships will continue.
1st day of 3rd grade
Early morning breakfast ..Cafe Central
Work In Process UNR Fundamentals of Acting
Kids University at UNR
Grace made the good choice to sign up for another course at Kids University. We’re glad she did, it should be great. Grace’s course this week: “Fundamentals of Acting”
Arriving at UNR this morning:
New Hair
Went to hair appointment at Hair Mania II (Dad’s hair place). But first stopped by “Unbeweavable” beauty supply for some blue hair.
Goal was to get hair clean from the 2+ weeks of braids from Oakland, then trim as necessary and do a new hair style to Grace’s specifications.
They did a great job, and said only a few rodents, 2 birds and one skunk ran out of Grace’s hair when they washed three times. All were surprised how long Grace wanted the blue hair …but all agreed it’s her hair.
Here are the pictures:
