1) That's a LOT, but go Emma! And you, too, for taking all that on. 2) Aww. It's great that she had at least some positive educational experiences, and that she was valued in return. 3) That is so sweet and adorable, and I'm glad to hear Fiona got so into giving you a good Mother's Day! 4) Birds! We have a pair of swallows raising several successive nests of chicks in a disused vent shaft in our ceiling; they come back to do this every year, or at least their descendants do. They're pretty noisy in there sometimes, but given that we also have a number of hawks hunting the field behind our house, I have never had the heart to close up the vent to keep them out.
