Allowance at the Millers

Once you can read and write, you can start getting a monthly allowance at the Miller house. Each month, Baikal receives $4 for saving, $4 for spending, and $4 for giving. For her giving money, she decided to send it to the Grant Park Conservancy. They maintain and beautify the park in our neighborhood. After receiving Baikal's note, they put this on their facebook page: "It’s probably the cutest thing we’ve ever received in the mail. It is a donation from a neighborhood kid. The envelope contained $4"

Goodbye Merle!

Merle Chicago Garvin Miller strolled into dog heaven today after 16 great years with Erin and 11 semi-combative years with Matt. She was a loyal dog and one heck of a scrapper. She will be missed!

Math with Rybolt

Rybolt: What do you get when you add a zero to a zero?
Baikal: Zero
Rybolt: No, an eight.

Rybolt's Preschool Graduation

Rybolt graduated from his preschool this week. He has been at the Children's Garden Preschool since he was 22 months old! What a special place this has been for him to grow. Rybolt was known for being a good listener and a good helper around his school. We are so proud of him! He will start Kindergarten in the fall at the Neighborhood Charter School.
