Gabe had an assessment/interview by a couple of school district people reviewing his progress, grades, etc. In the written report they wrote
"Gabe appeared to be at ease with the examiners and quickly built rapport. He was friendly, engaging, animated, and occasionally burst into song"
I can see it all...
And I do not doubt one word of it!

I'm A Little Bit Country
I leave tomorrow for Nashville. I am attending the annual Building Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders (FASD) State Systems meeting and the Native American/Alaska Native/Native Hawaiian Expert Panel on FASD semiannual meeting (I am a panel member representing Native Hawaiians).
Its kind of hard to go at this particular time - with Hannah's health issues still up in the air. Fortunately she has a capable and loving father who will be here with her.
The meetings are usually quite intense (with some content - mostly the medical - over my head) but it helps me to stay on top of the latest research and information about FASD, the devastating scourge that affects my two youngest children. There is hope out there as more and more people recognize the disability and wider research and treatment options are made available.
I have kind of a down day on Tuesday so I am planning to drive to Louisville to visit my step mother. Its about a 3 hour drive.
Expect blog updates sporadically - and mostly addressed to the girls.
I get home on Friday night - then will spend the whole night cooking and preparing for our ward's annual Mother's Day Breakfast. Fun!
Looking at my whole itinerary I have to ask myself - "WHY did you schedule a flight with a 3 hour layover in San Francisco - the airport with the smallest Admirals Club in the world and the one with NO SHOWER???" I must be slipping.

Dance Concert
Tonight!!!
So exciting - and sure to be loud. Castle Dance Force dance concerts are the wildest things you will ever experience. Its a total audience-goes-nuts event. (The audience pretty much screams throughout the whole thing - kinda like a rock concert).
Gabe is in 6 numbers - which means 6 costumes (ouch says my credit card).
The weeks of grueling practice (at times more than 8 hours a day) culminate on the stage tonight
And I shall be sitting like a proud mama in seat C16 (3rd row - center seat) and screaming

Washington Monument
We've been to D.C. probably more than 1 dozen times and this was our first time inside the monument- of course this photo was taken before we went in.
