We spent the morning observing at Campbell and came to the conclusion that we are the luckiest family on earth to have been welcomed into Campbell's community. We believe greatly in what they stand for, how they teach, the school diversity, the academic excellence, high expectations, and most of all the beautiful children they nurture each day! I can't imagine our lives without Campbell. We were even able to be a part of the girls classroom celebrations. Sylvia and Cecelia's videos are attached. It is stunning to see the stark differences between them and to realize how much Cecelia has grown over the past 4 years and how much Sylvia has developed into her own person.
After observing we took Cecelia to lunch. She chose IHOP because 1. she can read the sign and 2. we told her it was a place where she could eat breakfast for lunch and have many flavors of syrup (it is the little things in life...). She ordered the happy face pancake. The waitress surprised her with a song and an ice cream sundae. She was so red from embarrassment/ excitement/ bewilderment/ who knows what else that I thought she may burrow a hole inside me and hide!
Cecelia went back to school and we went on a house hunt. I had one I had seen and we saw about 10 total. After a full day of searching we came to the conclusion the one I had gone to see would probably suit our lifestyle best. We made an appointment to see it again and stayed for an hour. WE PUT AN OFFER ON IT!!!! Fingers crossed it all works out. And for Bob's sake finger's crossed that they leave the pool table!!!
Linda came over and brought dinner and an ice cream cake. We will miss her so much when we move.
