Bree's First Day of Preschool

Preschool Orientation

Okay, Bree.  Today is YOUR turn to be the center of attention.  (Once we get Aiden on the bus, that is….)

We're on our way to:

a) Preschool orientation 

b) Fashion show 

c) Dance recital

d) All of the above

Yay!  Look whose got her own cubby this year!  Big improvement over last year's single hook.

The yellow room is a good mix of friends from last year, as well as a bunch of new kids.  Looking forward to a fun year with Mrs. Kinnunen and Mrs. Harding!

Kindergarten Bound

I can hardly believe my baby boy is off to Kindergarten today…..on the BUS!!!

Yup - Mumma's getting a little emotional. 

The "official" bus pass.

So grown up!

Someone else is wishing she were center of attention this morning…. 

Off he goes….  *sniff, sniff*

Pizza Party!

We had the neighborhood crew over for a pre-first-day-of-school pizza party tonight.  

Do these kindergarteners look excited for tomorrow, or what?

The former and future kindergarteners needed their own photo, too…..

Family Gathering at the Lake

Aunt Lee came up from Florida for a visit this weekend, so we gathered at the lake for a rare mini-family reunion.  

Two little freshies!

Grampy and Great-Memere.

Auntie Meg's Birthday is tomorrow, so I made a joint cake to celebrate her's and Aiden's birthdays.  Grammy & Grampy will be traveling the weekend of Aiden's birthday party this year, and I figured I'd save the rest of a family a trip "down south" in 3 short weeks by celebrating a little early.

The birthday boy and girl.  Look at that smile!  Maybe he does like hugs after all….  :-)

Busily making beautiful beaded jewelry for Auntie Meg's birthday.
