Day of Thanks, Reed at 10 weeks, Icicle River Exploration

 Last Thursday was the "Day of Thanks" at Small World Montessori. Both Edison's class and Charlotte's class brought in ingredients to make a special soup that was shared with parents after a short program of singing by the students. Edison and Charlotte reported helping make the soup by chopping veggies and mixing them up. Now they want to make soup at home - stay tuned!

Reed is awake now for the hour after he eats. He likes to spend time on his playmats checking out his surroundings. Here he mimics big brother and sister. His new alertness has helped me take more pictures of him!

 We went exploring up the Icicle River valley last weekend. Snow has started to fall in the region and it won't be long until they close the roads. But it was fun to get out and enjoy the sunshine and the beautiful, boulder-strewn Icicle River preceded by a delicious lunch at the Sleeping Lady Resort's cafe which is now our favorite eating spot in the Leavenworth area.
