Kindergarten Graduation!

The twins have succeed at the first of many hurdles ahead in their years of education. Both of the had all "Excellents" on their report cards. So proud. Austin and Avery had the privilege of leading the flag solute for their ceremony. It was a great year with a great teacher, and a great class with great families. The kids really enjoyed it and learned a lot. I am glad that we waited a year to start them in school. Avery is my little perfectionist smarty pants. She reminds me of Hermione in Harry Potter. Austin is Mr. Social. His teacher said that he is very mature socially. He can get along with everyone and is not judgemental. I can't believe how much the kids are growing. First graders, wow. One more year and all three of my kids will be in school. It has been such a blessing to have such a great family. We are having a blast watching our kids grow and joining them in learning and just enjoying life. Yes, we have trials and hard times, but the good totally outweigh the bad.
 The only day ever Avery didn't wear shorts under her dress. Poor girl flashed the whole audience.
 The pledge. (above)
 Austin got a certificate for perfect attendance. One of only two students in his class.



 Thank you Nana, Hayley, and Jessica for coming.

Easily Entertained!

Sometimes it doesn't take much to keep the kids entertained. Give them a big box. Build them a fort. Buy them a donut! The kids play so well together, take care of each other and love each other. I'm glad that they are so close together in age. I hope that they will always stay close.
