Learning. . . .

creative playtime: Si, Ella, and Sam created half a dozen "block creatures" and dressed them from the dress-up box.

An opportunity we will not soon forget: A soldier was being laid to rest in the veterans cemetery around the block. Much of Ft. Leavenworth lined the streets as the motorcade and Patriot Guard Riders passed by. It was moving. I am grateful to have the opportunity to honor this soldier, and am thankful to live in a place where the sacrifices of men like this are not forgotten!
