Believe it or not, I'm finally updating our blog!

We attended the awards ceremony on Saturday June 7 at the KQED television station in San Francisco. They had a catered lunch for us and read all of the winning stories (K-3 grades). They were all awarded with Reading Rainbow backpacks, DVD's, books, and tickets to local kids museums and parks. We had such a fun time an

post it on the blog so you all can see it. Until next time...which will hopefully be soon.
