| We got 10 goldfish to come live in our aquarium. After a food mishap, only one fish is still living. We are still trying to come up with the best name for the survivor fish. Dexter, H.H. Holmes, and several other serial killer names are under discussion. |

Marina's Fairy Birthday Party (only two months after her birthday!)
 |
| Everyone made wings and wands to prepare to become fairies. |
 |
| Marina was a super cute fairy |
 |
| Lincoln made the fairy of death, which is why the somber face. He said that the fairy of death does not smile. He is probably right. |
 |
| After wings were made and fairy dust applied, the fairies had to go save the wuzzles (they look like balloons, but they can't touch the ground) |

Here are the school pictures for this year. It took a while to get them since Lincoln was sick on the day they took the pictures.
Lincoln has been signing the songs from Les Miserables since he saw the play last month. I caught him singing, but I did not get the video of him, because I thought he would stop singing. He has a pretty nice voice!
