KINDERGARTEN KID

Matthew started kindergarten last week. He has been counting down the days! He kept telling me that he was SOOOO excited for kindergarten but a little sad too. When I asked him why, he said, "Because I'm going to miss you!" Man, I love that kid!







Matthew's top 3 favorite things about kindergarten (in his own words):
#1: RECESS
#2: DRAWING A MONSTER
#3: HEARING STORIES ABOUT THE MONSTER (told by his teacher)

Matt and Corinne love going to school together. It is so nice to see that they are "best buds" and to watch Corinne take care of Matthew. This will be a fun year for them.

THE LAST DAYS OF SUMMER AND THE FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL

The last two weeks have been a whirlwind of activities! Here it is, summed up in pictures:

Our weekend trip to Idaho to surprise my parents for their 40th anniversary. (We literally showed up on their doorstep.) Our whole family was together and the little cousins had a blast!









A visit to the Children's Discovery Gardens with our great friends who are moving soon. Boo.







Water fight!





And finally...
Corinne's first day of 3rd grade!







Stay tuned for Matt's first day of kindergarten (next week).
