Preschool Graduation

The elementary school had an official ceremony for the preschool kids. They walked in, sang songs, received some awards, and left "crossing the bridge" into Kindergarten. 

Griffin did great. He's never been too shy to sit in front of a group of people, and it was packed. Grandpa Don, Grandma Kathi, Grandma Pat, and Grandpa Bill even came to squeeze into the bleachers to watch. 

Here they came:

And some pictures afterward:

Mrs. Donna has raised Griffin from the time he was 8 weeks old in the daycare nursery. They are pals. 

The beginning of Griffin and Kaelyn's school careers!

We didn't get a photo with his teacher, Mrs. Thomas. We did one with the aide, whom he loved, Mrs. Kym. 

 

 

 Good job buddy!

March Monthly Update

March was all about doing stuff and going places. 

Drew and I left the boys in Missouri to attend a wedding in Texas. As always, you look forward to getting away and then as soon as you leave, the kids are immediately on your mind and brought up in conversation. 

Griffin had a parent teacher conference for Preschool. He's doing really well and way beyond the milestones set for him. He's a little too anxious though and really needs to work on waiting his turn, raising his hand, containing himself in general. 

We went to birthday parties for Briley (9), Charlotte (4), and Blaine (4). 

Griffin also started YMCA soccer and T ball. 

Kaelyn came over one night while her parents were in Uganda

Ta Ta is popular with all of our group's kids

These pictures include the pond that has now been rebuilt and looks completely different. 

They got a little itchy on the hay bales like all kids should:

The Matherly's let us come over to visit their lambs one evening. 

Thankfully, Spring soccer had A LOT less kids signed up, and therefore not near as much chaos.

The boys love going to the park, and Griffin is pretty good at the monkey bars. 

More pictures robbed from the daycare facebook page:

Tipper joined in for March's monthly pics. 

I took them for Easter pictures in these outfits, and was able to get a brother photo in our go-to spot afterward.
