Goodbye Preschool, Hello Kindergarten

Ava with teachers Mary M, Amy, Mary T and Ashley

(missing Cristina)

With buddies Zoe, Brooke, Annika and Arlo

For her first three years Ava was with Mary M and Amy.

A baby who wouldn't fall asleep unless

bounced on an exercise ball,

a toddler who got several "incident reports"

for biting the other kids and

a three year old with a very independent head.

We were sad to leave Mary and Amy...

She moved on to the Zoo Room for the next two years with

Mary T, Amanda, Ashley and Cristina.

Ava loves the Zoo room.

We are told that she is a good little helper

with the other kids.

Silly with her friends, creative, funny

...she LOVES to learn.

Saying goodbye to the Zoo Room will be tough,

her last day is on the 25th.

Sand Castle Obsession

I'm a little obsessed, maybe a lot obsessed.

I love to make a sand castle,

it's like therapy to quiet my stressed mind.

And then...my quieted mind got stressed out again

when some little brat (not mine) kicked my castle.

One Down

Saying good-bye to one of the fish,

A little sad, but not too much.

For Megan and Matti

my friends Megan and Matti are super awesome plant people,

I often kill plants.

check out their cool plant blog...

Pontoon Party

Surprises

funny the surprises that show up when

looking through a batch of pictures.

i don't remember the naked butt being in this one.

Last Goodbye

we walked through the house one last time,

playing in the empty closets was more fun to the kids

than the sentimental goodbye to our home.

over that, moving on i guess.

home owners no longer.
