Gees I can't believe it is November my daughter Carolann just turned 4 a few days ago. My other step child is going to be 8 this come December of 2003. She getting very big and Smart she in the 2 grade. Carolann started school in September 23, 2003 and has been doing awesome at her head start. I am also parent representive to her class room. That a big job for me. I been going to her school ever day unless am sick or had a appointment. So I really get to see her in the class room. I just wish I could get to my step daughter's class room to see how she doing in her class, but her dad get to go twice a week so he get to do it for me. Also both girls got there photo take recently Carolann we took her to Salem to get hers done and my step daughter got her done at her school. I been told Carolann will have class photo done more closer to the end of the year. So that will be great to see her grow from when she start school to the end of school year.
