School Days

Let the effort begin! I miss blogging! And I miss terribly, the record keeping that it provides for our children. I'm not a scrapbooker, so blogging is it, and I'm determined not to let any more sweet memories slip away! It may not be ultra creative, or even consistent for that matter, but I'm going to get started and see if I can savor these sweet days a bit more!

To get started, we'll jump back a couple of months and share a few pictures from the beginning of the school year.

Noah is now in Kindergarten, and was all smiles and confidence on his first day of school. He has 22 kids in his class and a wonderful teacher and teaching assistant. Friends are very important to Noah, so recess is an obvious highlight for him everyday. He was very proud of his recent participation in the Thanksgiving Program at school, and loves to sing all the Kindergarten songs.

Erik is now in 1st Grade and is learning to read! It is amazing to see his understanding expand everyday. He seems to be enjoying every subject, but it's becoming evident, that his brain is wired for math. He just thinks about the world in a mathematical sort of way. Right now at school, running laps is his main focus. Every recess is spent running, earning his way to a t-shirt after he accomplishes 500 laps!
