Responisble Ryan

We are so proud of Ryan for having a great first month of Kindergarten. His teacher says he is such a big help to her and so he received the Character Education award at the Patriotic Assembly. This month the character trait was Responsibility. Way to go Ryan! Along with his certificate he gets a free kids meal at Red Robin. He's pretty stoked about that.

Ella's First Day of Preschool

Ella was so excited to go to Mrs. Foster's Preschool. She has been dropping off Ryan at preschool with me the last couple years and is now so thrilled that she gets to stay and be a big kid! She picked out her own backpack (Dora, of course) and didn't miss me at all.

Back to School!!!

Well it's that time again. School started on Monday and the kids were really excited. Ryan is starting Kindergarten, Kylie is in 3rd grade, and Ella will have preschool 3 mornings a week. They met there teachers at back to school night and really liked them. I'm pretty happy with them too! I think it will be a great year. Ryan wasn't sad to go at all, which made it easy for me. It was a tearless morning for all, except Ella. She kept wondering when she was going to school (her preschool doesn't start till Aug. 11th). Ryan and Kylie both liked their first day of school. Kylie said, "I LOVE 3rd grade!" when I picked her up. I love her enthusiasm for school. Ryan was exhausted by dinner time and asked if he had to go back to school the next day. Yes buddy, and you'll do just fine.

Kylie's classroom is in the new building behind them. It is so nice and a beautiful addition to a really old school.

Saying goodbye to dad...and no tears!

This is where the 3-5th graders hang out before the bell rings. Kylie is there on the right. Doesn't she look so small? I promise, she is growing up too fast!
