She just found out right now and I am so happy for her. She also received $25k in annual scholarship. Pratt is one of her top four choices and ranked #7 globally for art and design. This is amazing news. Congratulations Isabel.

Wonderful cruise for Jake birthday on Virgin voyages

Isabel is accepted to Northeastern global program for design

In addition to getting admitted to Drexel and Penn state, isabel heard the good news from Northeastern While this is not her number one choice school, it's still amazing news for isabel as northeastern is a top 10 design school in the U.S. and the #1 coop program. It is considered a reach school and a great accomplishment to be admitted

She found out last Thursday while we were still on the cruise so she texted us the good news and we did FaceTime to congratulate her. If she attends, she would start abroad first semester (country tbd) and NE also offered her $5k in annual scholarship.

We are very proud of her and look forward to more news from other schools in the next two months. There are still at least 8 more schools she is waiting to hear from
- Carnegie Mellon
- Boston university
- univ of Pennsylvania
- university of Washington
- UCLA ucsd UC Davis
- Pratt
- RSID
- university of Michigan

She will need to decide by May 1 so she has plenty of time still

Alexis science experiment - how much weight can 3 eggs handle?

This is Alexis eighth grade science experiment. The hardest part was figuring out how to cut raw eggshells in half without breaking it and making them even. Agnes ended up buying a saw that worked to help Alexis with this part.

Can you guess how many pounds of books three half egg shells can hold? I give you a hint it is more than 10 pounds and the answer is in the poster in the photo.
