| Apparently Gibson needed 5 spoons to eat his granola Tuesday morning. |

| On our way to bed one night, we found Sophie on the upstairs landing making earrings for the student teacher who is helping in Sophie's geography class. The teacher will finish her student teaching soon and Sophie wanted to say thank you to her. Sophie made some lovely dangly earrings out of jasper and jade. |

| Abe wanted a challenge this week so we let him take apart a broken blender. It's old enough that it doesn't have any circuit boards in it-- just lots of interesting moving parts. Abe drew a diagram of the wiring with colored pencils before he disconnected them. Right now he's trying to figure out how to get the center shaft out so he can remove the motor. |

| On Saturday we went to Sophie's Spring piano recital. All the music was from the classical and romantic periods. Sophie played an Ecossaise by Schubert. The recital was delightful to listen to-- so many lovely pieces played very well-- an impressive amount of talent and hard work shown by the students. |

| After sitting quietly through the recital the kids got to work out some wiggles at a nearby playground. It was sunny and breezy and felt wonderful to be outside. |

I always love to see the home adventures your kids come up with. Gibson is so adorable with his five-spoon breakfast, and Abe, the Thomas Edison of our time.
My brother is an electrical engineer and he used to LOVE it when appliances would die in our house so he culd take them apart. Maybe Abe is headed that way too! Good for Sophie for sticking to the piano lessons (of course I don't know how much of a choice you give her = ), a lot of the girls are already flaking out on that, which is sad.
Sophie looks so beautiful sitting at the piano. I would love to hear her play when you come visit.
Gibson may find the book "A spoon for every bite" amusing. The problem we had with our boys is as they grew, they didn't want to wait until something was broken before they took it apart. It then became a better challenge to see if they could put it together so that it worked. Abe looks so happy with his work. Congrats on Sophie's recital. Listening to our children perform is what I call a mom paycheck.
One spoon for each figure. Great one to one correspondence, Gibson! Love the blender mechanic. Such a great family!
