Triple Party Madness!
Today, we found ourselves invited to three different parties! Oh, these children and their social lives. 😉 We didn’t want them to miss out on anything, so, we decided to do split duty. Brandon took Brian to Nolan’s party in the morning, and Hayes’s party in the afternoon. I took Kendall to the Goddard block party which was in between the other two. Nolan’s party was at Three Bears Acres, and Brian had a blast trying out all the outdoor activities. The big slide...

Well, it’s the end of an era–today was Brian’s last day at Goddard School. How was his last day at Goddard after his first day of Kindergarten? It’s a quirk of the way Kindergarten assessments and assignments are done. Yesterday, he had a full day of assessments, today there’s no Kindergarten while the teachers crunch the numbers (Brandon and I like to imagine they have a draft.) 😉 Tomorrow, it’s back to Kindergarten where we will find out his official...

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.

Another busy Saturday! This morning I had to step out early to get my hair done, while Brandon and the kids headed to Lowes for another Build and Grow event! Today Brian built a Pizza Planet delivery car, as featured in the Toy Story movies. Poor Kendall had to watch from her stroller! Brian had been begging for a key from the custom key cutting area in Lowes–a house key printed with an M&M pattern. Brandon gave in, and even had it cut for him–so now Brian has his first...

Brian’s teacher, Ms. Sarah Catherine, was wonderfully kind and sent us these photos from Brian’s 2012-2013 school year at Root! I could (and often do!) sing her praises for days, as a lot of you well know. We really do credit her with so much of Brian’s success and amazing progress over the past 2+ years. She’s helped Brandon and me to become better parents, offering evening seminars and workshops based on Becky Bailey’s Conscious Discipline program....
