This is a project for our daughters, Elena and Isabella.
We are documenting your lives.
This is a record of all the good days, the bad days,
and all the days in-between.
5th grade
Here we are, kiddo. Another school. Man, this one's a tough for me. I know that we're not too far away from some really big changes in life...and that's such a scary notion for me. We're gonna have to be really patient with each other! I can already tell, it's gonna be ROUGH ride....but I am HERE. We're gonna get through this TOGETHER.

You've only been waiting for this day since....school got out this summer. You're such a social butterfly, that I have no doubt that you will go GREAT this year. The most exciting part for you....NAP MATS. Haha! I can't wait to see how much you grow.
I love you. Forever.
Here we are the day before you started, where we met your new teacher, Ms. Morris.
You'd been hoping all summer that you'd get her....and you did!
summer 2018
This summer was BUSY!
From taking short trips to Palm Beach in Galveston...
To Ellie's Surgery
To World Cup craziness
Then getting the casts removed and enjoying a baseball game...
Then Chief Season and you guys helping me out, then re-enlistments.
Then our obsession for making all of the empanadas in the world,
until we figured out a perfect recipe. Haha!
To general goofing-off
Also, late in the summer we got a message from the administrators at Dream asking if you'd like to present Mr. Cush with a huge award he was going to be getting. You were tasked with writing a speech that you would be giving in front of all of the teachers and staff from KIPP Houston. This is the speech you wrote:
And here you are on the big day. I was so nervous for you...but of course you killed it!
