Teacher Appreciation Week

Do you like the gift we came up? The teachers loved it! Thank you Pinterest.
 
 

Parker Siblings

Just a quick picture to let my sisters and brother know that I think of them ALL.THE.TIME. I know I'm terrible at finding the time to call (and the time difference doesn't help with that). But I want you to know that I still think of the four of us as a little band-of-brothers. A team of unstoppable Parker Siblings!

I have recently chatted with Jonathan more than I have in years, I got to see Natalie as a mum for the first time, and I can't tell you how often Abigail does something that reminds me exactly of a little Alexandra. I love all three of you SO MUCH and I'm so proud to be your Big Sister.

Flagstaff

One of the best things about living in Phoenix? You can wake up on a Sunday and decide to spend the day by the pool in 70 degrees, or drive three hours north and play in snow. Here we are at one of the small spots in Flagstaff:






The Lonely Polygamist by Brady Udall


It was a good thing that I had two five-hour flights involved in New York Toy Fair. Because this book was really long and would've taken me the whole year to finish in my 'real life'. It was highly enjoyable - I definitely recommend to my reader friends. Those with frequent long flights especially.

PTA Reflections

Before Christmas, Jake helped Abigail enter the PTA Art programme. She made a little book: 'The Adventures of Abigail and Fwaffe' (her giraffe). It was submitted for the Kindergarten to Second Grade category and our little smarty-pants WON! She won the award for Outstanding Interpretation and her artwork went on to be submitted to the District. Grandma flew out for her Award Ceremony (we just heard there will be another one for this - Grandma, want to come again?)

So proud of my talented little monkey!
