Brian’s Spring School Pictures
Brian’s spring school pictures are here! Sadly, because these were taken first thing on a Monday, he was at OT when his class was called for their class picture. So, he just missed it. 🙁 But, he did make it in time for his individual photos, which are pretty...

Today started early, with Brian’s swim lessons this morning! Kendall tagged along, and Brandon got some cute pictures of them sitting outside in the sun.

Brandon helpfully made lunches for all three of us, so we were ready! Kendall was very happy to see us, and Brian felt pretty special to be in attendance as the big brother.
