Kennedy Space Center!

We are hoping to take the children to Kennedy Space Center to see the Space Shuttle launch on May 31st. I noticed an article in Southern Living about how this is "the end of the shuttle era". I hadn't realized they were already an "era". But then, I am just getting to the April edition of my magazine.

It was so much a part of my life growing up that I hope to share at least one event with my children. The baby will not recall this trip, but the older two will. I had the fortune to see a night launch in college and it was incredible. Keep your fingers crossed that the weather is great!

It is a Saturday this time, so if you are anywhere close, drop in to Titusville ... or just take the time to step outside and see man soar.

Update on 100 Easy Lessons

Wow. We have decided to slow down a bit with the lessons. For no other reason than my son is doing very well, and asks to do "homework" as a fun game. I can see that some students might not enjoy the sparce games, but it is working out for us at this pace. The added benefit is that the baby hears him practicing sounds and attempts to repeat them. So we are getting our reading and speech therapy all in one go.

We are on lesson 37 and he attempts sounding out words when we go places. Even told me ... mommy, that says "full screen" ... see the "f". Hmm. I guess I need to get some new tricks.
