Score!

Ally scored her first goal today. The smile on her face when she looked over at me afterward was absolutely priceless.

I really love reading Ally's papers that she brings home from school, not necessarily for the school work, but because she adds all sorts of little drawings and writings in the sidelines and on the back of her papers. For example, they are reading "A Wrinkle in Time" and along with that studying astronomy. On the back of one of her worksheet she drew a new constellation with this title:
The Game

Looks like two girls playing soccer.

Here is the latest quote, found written in the side column of her spelling test:

The long eternal hours,
The time that work desires,
School.

And her teacher's response written in red ink underneath:

Only 16 more years, Ally :)
