Shoot, now the adults have to get out of bed early again! I took off work a little early so I could go with Leah to see them off on yet another year. No tears this time…honest (ok, . But it did remind us of how they are growing up so quick.

Happy Fathers Day

Happy Father’s Day to all the dads out there. I was greeted this morning by my kids who had each made custom cards for me to along with small plants that each of them had planted themselves. The icing on the cake of course was having our new baby boy at home with us. Isaac and mommy continue to do well and we are all settling in to the new groove that is, having a newborn at home.

The North Carolina beach. By Katie

For those reading this, please do post a comment here. I believe she’s done a great job here and would love to see her do more work like this.

Katie and Cameron wrap up another year of school

Kindergarten Graduation

It’s official, both Katie and Cameron are moving on to 5th and 1st grade respectively. While Cameron’s kindergarten class had a graduation ceremony, Katie’s class had a party on the last day of school. Camerons education score is right on par and while Katie needs a little work on the math side, she is well beyond her grade level in reading. I guess that explains why she read through the complete Harry Potter book series in no time.

Good job to both of you!!

Katie’s art work goes on display

Katie and her art teacher pose for a picture under Katie’s art work. Her work was one of a limited number of pieces chosen to be on display out of the entire school district. Good job Katie!

Katie and Cameron’s school picture day

Bear with me as we play catch-up. I’ll be uploading some images as I re-organize and most of them will be from the recent past. These are a couple pics that I took before Katie and Cameron went to school on picture-day back in February.
