Ellis Island

It's a month of tying up loose ends in the Sperger household, as we close out the school year today for Nick and Maria. Several days ago Maria and Chelsea went on the third grade field trip to Ellis Island, closing out Maria's family history unit that we mentioned all the way back in March.

I've noticed in writing this blog that Maria and Chelsea are often absent from my posts - that I end up following around Nick and Anna. If you ever wonder where the rest of my girls have gone, this is your answer. Chelsea and Maria are globe-trotting.

Chelsea and I even talked the other day about my observation from a few weeks ago that she and I turn the camera in different directions for vertical pictures. She tells me that her direction (which she referred to as "the correct way") is easier to adjust in her photo editing program; my way (she used the words "bad" and "wrong") apparently requires more work. However, in my photo editing program, it's the same amount of effort either way. I helpfully suggested that she consider the possibility she is wr-wr-wron... mistaken.
