Another week gone by...

We have been súper busy this week.  The girls all participated in the Boosterthon held at their school, Timber Trace Elementary.  The event consisted in each child running around a course on the school field, with money pledged by friends and family to be donated for each lap the child ran, the monies being used for school projectsl

Angel, Diana and I turned out at 8:15 to watch Paula run 35 laps!!!!! It was hot and sweaty but she braved the sun and had a great time with her classmates.

Here's a picture of Paula with her teacher. Ms. McKeich.

We returned for the fourth grade class run, to see both Patty and Maria.  Luckily, it had clouded over a bit, but it still was about 32 degrees!  

Maria, instead of running, was given a special seat on a golf cart and took a lap around the golf course. 

Patty valiantly ran 35 laps, while Maria participated by spraying a water bottle on the runners as they ran past her! But a good time was had by all!

The girls have also gotten together with Paley Institute friends at activities in the hospital. Here's a picture of the girls with Max and Daniel at Nova Night, where they had a pizza party after a group discussion.

On Sat. we had a visit from the girls' cousin, Roberto, who is living close by in Boca Raton.  He is as handsome and affectionate as ever! He accompanied the girls in a trip to Loggerhead Marine Center to see the turtles!

On Sunday we had a visit from Angelina, a lovely friend from Maria's class.  The girls spent the afternoon making jewelry.  Our stay here has been so great because of the special friends we've made!

And for those of you who have been anxiously awaiting, here is a picture of Patty's robot which was due last week.  Pretty creative, huh?! Very Patty...!
