Kindergarten Round-Up

James got a chance to check out his Kindergarten school, Horace Mann, in early May at a school open house for incoming K students.  He got quite the kick out of checking out the rooms, running around in the gym and just being in awe that he was truly going to be going there this fall.  We got a chance to meet a lot of other parents and hear about their positive experiences with their older kids at the school - we chose a good neighborhood to live in!

We are also fortunate that the school is only three blocks away from our house so he will be able to walk to school with other neighborhood kids which he is excited about.

We can't believe he'll be 5 here soon and starting school!  Where does the time go!!

Off to buy those first round of school supplies here soon!

Easter Celerbations 2014

Still catching up and summer days are fleeting ... somehow we'll make tracks and get caught up before baby #3 is here!  And now as we write this we realize we haven't posted that announcement here yet either ... yet another post to do!

Back to April ... chilly April in which snow continued to fall.  Yes we are looking that far back yet.  We did manage to have a wonderful Easter celebration both as a family and with grandmas and grandpas.

Boys got a kick out of decorating eggs this year and participating in a community Easter egg hunt in addition to attending church services in their Sunday best and having and early celebration with some family the day before and brunch at the Bragg's.

Baskets of course we're a favorite as well - all gmas and gpas spoiled them!  They had candy up until Memorial day to finish off - though Momma and Papa shared in that bounty as well :)
