1st Homework Assignment

Jackson's first homework assignment was an "All About Me Poster." He was so very excited to have homework, but that enthusiasm quickly faded as he realized that I was going to make him write every single letter/word. Aunt Heather and I did help him color (I made him tell me what colors to use) to speed up the process. But, it did take a long while. . .

Cousins

Jarrod, Heather, Judson and Katherine came to visit. They spent the weekend and the kids had a great time playing and being together. Silly kiddos!

Henry's Toddler Class

Henry has moved up to the Toddler class! He has the same teachers that Jackson had at this age. He was showing out for me in the pics below, but he really loves Ms. Dee. His other teacher, Ms. Maria, said to me after having Henry for one week, "Henry seems much more, um, independent than Jackson!" :)

Kindergarten

Jackson started kindergarten today! Wow. We have been reading "The Night Before Kindergarten" for a week or so - Jackson asked me if I was going to cry like the parents in the book.  He then told me it was okay to do "a little cry, but not a big cry."  I felt okay dropping him off - teared up just a little as I saw other parents leaving the school SOBBING! He was so excited to be there. Told me tonight that his favorite thing so far was working at his desk! :)

Henry did not want to be left out!  He was excited for his big brother!

The day before kindergarten, the school had a popsicle party. 
It was fun for all the kids to meet and/or re-unite!

Mimi's Birthday

Mimi turned 60! Molly and I thought we'd get the kids together to get a nice photo that we could frame for Mimi. Easier said than done! I think I took almost 100 photos and only had 1 or 2 that would be halfway decent. Henry was not cooperating (as you'll be able to see from the photos below). We had planned to get together again to do another photo-shoot, but then Henry got a black eye. . .and then it was Mimi's birthday!

She loved her photo of her boys!
