Tara was recognized with the Citizenship Award for the month of October for Ms. Wolff's 1st grade class. Way to go!! We all gathered in Mokapu's cafetorium for her assembly Thursday morning. She walked to the stage, shook the principle's hand and then turned around and beemed with pride. We were offered punch and cookies (peanut free of course) after the ceremony and as we were all leaving Tyler said "love you Tara!". Even Big Guy was proud of his sister.

Tyler has been reading a special Halloween book with his teacher. There are several pumpkins in the story but his favorite is the lumpy, bumpy pumpkin. I found one while shopping and presented it to the boy. He carried it off like a treasured toy and gave it a position of prominence in the living room. I wonder how he's going to react on carving day?
