P.R.I.D.E. Awards!

At Berkley's school, every quarter 5 students are picked for the P.R.I.D.E. Awards. Every letter stands for something: P=Prepared, R=Respectful, I=Improved, D=Dependable, E=Enthusiastic. Berk won the award for Most Improved this quarter. This is her accepting her award from her teacher, Mrs. Salas.
She has been doing great! Her class has a reward system, where each child starts out on green and either stays, increases to blue, or decrease to yellow, or red (red being the worst). It is very common for most children to stay in the green. For most of last quarter, Berkley has consistently been a blue girl. We are so proud of her!

Ed's Happy Day Day!

So, Ed turned the BIG 3-0 last month! I surprised him by taking him to The New Sanno Hotel, in Tokyo. We had a fantastic meal! We love to eat at Wellington's - inside the New Sanno. Thanks to our fabulous neighbors, Valerie & Xavier, we were able to be kid-free, too! Bonus! We got home on Saturday from Tokyo, and left on Sunday for Tama. Ed has been wanting to take us 'camping' up there, ever since he had Wood Badge training there. We took the girls to the zoo, they got to ride horses & hang out with Dad. It was a great family weekend!

Scentsy Launch Party!

So, this Thursday night (7p-9p @ my house) is my first official Scentsy party! I am so excited! I love the stuff! I've been really busy the last few weeks creating games, thinking of prizes, deciding on food, and creating a few different display areas for the 80+ scents! I'm hoping that everything goes smoothly! If you are in the States and are interested in ordering. You can do it by contacting me or just ordering straight from my website. It's a great place to browse, too!
I hate to post without posting a picture, too. So, here is a somewhat updated family picture. It was taken the beginning of March at the Landmark Tower in Yokohama. We went with Ed's Unit for Dental Assistant Appreciation Week. Fantastic food!!!
