So Long, Kindergarten!
Well, he did it! Brian has finished his first whole year as an elementary schooler, and completed Kindergarten today with flying colors. It’s a little bittersweet, of course, but new fun and adventures await in first grade–not to mention the summer filled with many different camp experiences! Sadly, today Brian has to say goodbye to the after school program at Laurel Hills, since they have cancelled the transportation service from Root for next year. Theoretically, Root will...

Brian wore his fancy new “science is awesome” tee shirt today! We picked this up at the planetarium when we went to Chapel Hill.

But the doctor said it was removed cleanly and that we probably don’t have anything to worry about. Fingers...

Then, we made our way to the cafeteria, met a lot of Rosemary’s colleagues, and I got to see some of my former teachers who...

There was a thing or two we remembered from the last time, and we thought we’d keep it under control.. But of course we didn’t! One of the main purchases today was a suitcase for each kid. A...
Read MoreChapel Hill Visit
Today we finally did something we’ve been meaning to do for years–take the kids to the Morehead Planetarium in Chapel Hill! Of course, they have actually been in the building before, but it was for a Lego event, and not for a planetarium show. Today, we saw that they were having a Magic Treehouse-themed show for the kids, and we thought that would be just about perfect. Brian has gotten into that series of books since we picked up the first 12 at his spring book fair, and he has...
