1st picture as a family of five!!

She is here!!!!!

Our sweet baby girl has arrived!! I was induced on Sunday, November 9, 2008 at around 8:00 am and she was born at 12:37 pm. She weighed 7 pounds 13 ounces and is 20.5 inches long. She has chuby cheeks and hair. We were very suprised with the hair. The boys were both bald until they were almost a year old and then it was blonde peach fuzz. Everything went well and she seems to be a very good baby. Pictures to follow once we get home.

A fun game to play

Class Mascot

After five years of teaching, I can not tell you how many times I sent Ricky the Raccon home with a student. They children were always thrilled to be going home with Ricky. He had several outfits and a journal in his backpack. The children loved to tell about Ricky and what they did over the weekend when they came back Monday morning. Now that Ricky is enjoying his retirement, I got to experince a new bear come to life through the eyes of my child.

Well, this weekend Corduroy, Dylan's class mascot came home to our house for the weekend. They were both thrilled to have him visit us. Corduroy goes home daily in their Kindergarten class, so Dylan and Ethan were thrilled that he came on Friday because he got to spend three NIGHTS with us instead of one. It was neat to be on this side of the fence and see that Corduroy was cared for every minute of the day. He went out to dinner and had ice cream with us. He played soccer in the backyard. He went to a game and cheered on Dylan and Ethan. Dylan just knew he scored a goal because of Corduroy's cheering and clapping.

KINDERGARTEN

Today was the first day of Kindergarten! Such a big step in letting them go. They are ready, academically, socially, emotionally...but am I ready to hand them off every day for six hours. Hard to believe in many ways that they are old enough to attend school. It seems like yesterday that I was giving birth and wondering if I would make it through the sleepless nights. In other ways it has felt like a long 5 years, after all I have been there for every diaper change, every time out and every cough and cold. Good luck my boys. I hope that today is a fun day, filled with
many happy memories.

Theater Camp

The boys attended a Theater Arts camp this summer. They enjoyed learning many songs to movies and musicals. Their age group performed, Little Mermaid, Enchanted, and the Good Ship Lollipop. The final culmination of camp was a performance. Dylan was sick with Strep throat, but Ethan stayed healthy and was able to perform.

you can see Dylan's picture under Ethan's right arm.
