Dr. Seuss, Rock band party, old friends, and wings

Last week I think every elementary school in the country celebrated Dr. Seuss. The more adventurous ones ate green eggs and ham and libraries were pillaged for these classics. Kassy surprised me by actually reading (not memorizing) about 75% of One Fish, Two Fish, Red Fish, Blue Fish. Reading astounds me. One day it's just there. A mystery solved and all that remains is practice. Above she models her Cat in the Hat hat.

Those of you who are local probably received this promotional material for the girls' school in the mail. I've been impressed with how many people looked at it long enough to recognize my oldest. Hadley is embarrassed by the photo, saying things like, "I wish people would just stop talking about it."The little blond boy lives just down the street so our block was a bit over-represented. 

My best friend from high school, Prashant, had an interview in Ann Arbor for a medical fellowship in cardiac electrophysiology (whew what a mouthful) last week. Then he drove up here to pitch his tent for the night (just kidding). I hadn't seen him in over five years. And my first thought was, "Wow, he looks like his brother." We had a good evening catching up. Looking at this picture now, I can't help but thinking that both of us look old (er).

   This is a bug wing I found on a book shelf in the house. No idea where it came from, but isn't it beautiful? Plus, I was playing around with my new camera. 

Kassy went to a rocker girl birthday party this weekend. They did her hair, her nails, and her makeup. She loved it.
