Apologies for the delayed post. We arrived in Tucson last week and have settled in our new home. We are loving the pool, especially during these hot, monsoonal days in The Old Pueblo.
While unpacking all of our things that have been roasting in our storage unit for the past 4+ years, I came across another piece of Zane's schoolwork. It is a story he wrote in 1st grade, when he lived with Mark and me in Tucson. This one has a special place in my heart. Mark, Zane and I had just moved in together. I was a new parent when Zane brought the story home to us, and it secured a sacred position on our refrigerator for the entire year we lived there. It still brings a smile to my face.
The Dragon and the Acrobat
by Zane
Year 1
Once upon a time there was a fire-breathing dragon who captured a famous acrobat and ran off to an amusement park.
They played games.
The went on rides.
They went home together.
Sandy, you've got to stop doing that... You're making me all clucky!
Oh damn, I can hear my biological clock ticking.
