Day Out With Thomas!
Today we were off to celebrate a Day Out with Thomas, in Spencer, NC. Brian informed us that he isn’t really into Thomas anymore (this kid is too big for his britches, now that he’s a big kindergartener!) We told him that we were going for Kendall, and he could just come along and support her. Well, once we arrived, Thomas fever took hold, and Brian was having a great time, singing along with all the Thomas songs, taking part in his favorite activities, just like he had in years...

After the big excitement of having his 6th birthday party, and losing his first tooth the night before, we were off to get Brian’s picture made! Last night I briefly thought, “Aw man, if only that tooth could have waited one more day..” But now I’m so glad it came on out–what says “six years old” better than a snaggy smile! 🙂 Brian is a total champ at this picture-taking thing now. As always, let us know if you’d like to order prints, and...

Brian’s sixth birthday party was today, and what a day it was! Wow. We started off with a few small presents with breakfast, and let Brian open his cards.

Today we were back at Root for a partial day to find out Brian’s teacher assignment and have a little orientation to his new classroom! When we arrived we were surprised to see a huge crowd of parents and kids crowded around the front door of the school–then, someone appeared and posted the assignment list! From the excitement, you’d think it was a list of who was starring in a Broadway play! Brian and I held back to avoid getting trampled (really!) and then made our way...
Read MoreBrian’s First Day of Kindergarten!
Today’s a big day for all of us! It’s Brian’s first day of Kindergarten! We had breakfast together, and then were off on our new morning routine. Brian was pretty excited to have his new backpack (yes, it’s the same as his old backpack!) We took Kendall to Goddard first, and then went to Root. Brian was happy to be back at Root, and was super excited to see Ms. Misty right out front. Then, we made our way down the hall to the Kindergarten classes. We liked all...
