Bragging Rights

Julie was placed in the gifted and talented program at her school. It is a pull-out program: one half hour, four days a week. They are currently studying foreign countries. Julie came home one day and told me that Cuba used to be our friend but isn't our friend anymore; people leave Cuba on small boats to travel to the US. (I don't think I knew about Cuba until I was in college!!!) This week the GT students will go to the Japanese Gardens in Fort Worth to study Japanese architecture. Julie is very excited, and one day she sneaked a peek at her teachers books and saw a picture of a Japanese building. She carefully copied the distinctive features of the roof in her drawing. What an amazing girl!!!

Cute pictures and great updates! Your family has changed so much, it is fun to be able to see what the Cannon's are up to these days. Congrats to Julie on the GT program.
