Today I was a chaperone for Zach and his school class at Brookfield zoo! I did this with Kirstyn and had a blast, so I volunteered to help with Zach as well. I only had 3 kids (including Zach) and that worked out VERY well. Each kid was supposed to figure out what his or
Today was a great day! It was very hot and muggy, but we had a great time going to the memorial day parade in Aurora and watching the girls march! It was kind-of weird, however, as it was just Angela, the boys, and I watching. What a small group! 🙂 The girls did a GREAT

Today Sarah took her AP Calculus Test! She felt VERY good about it and hopes to get a strong 4 if not a 5. We’ll keep our fingers crossed! She should get some good college credit out of this one!
