Last Day of School
6/24/13:
That's right . . . you read that right. My kids go to school until the end of June. This is the last year that Joey and Clarissa will attend the same school together until Clarissa is in 6th and Joey in 8th grade. We were able to walk to school, and I miss it. For the last day of school several families met and walked to school together.
Joey & his reading specialist Mrs. Lebanko
Joey & Jasmine.
Clarissa hugging her daddy for the last time as a pre-kindergartener
CJ & Ms. Tammy
CJ & Ms. Diana . . . evidently, it was also Ms. Diana's last day to teach since she retired after the school year.
CJ & her friend Hope

Swimming

We live near a boarding school with a beautiful pool. Employees get to use it, and luckily we have a friend who is an employee.
So . . . it looks like we'll be able to use this pool on our own free time as well. This school year I took a job. I was blessed enough to find a position at this school!

End of 1st Grade :(
6/21/13:
Here we are celebrating the end of Joey's first grade year. It's amazing to see the difference in kindergarten and first grade. First grade was actually a tough year. This was his first year as a full-day student. It was a little tough for the first couple of months. He also learned how to read this year, and . . . ugh, it just makes me so sad that he's so big!
Joey's class read us a little story.
Joey & his speech teacher.
Joey & his 1st grade teacher Mrs. Nanigian.
Joey & his 1st grade teacher Mrs. Hayes. Joey was able to get into a co-teacher class and it was pretty fantastic.
Joey & his teacher aide Mrs. Riley.
After we had his party, we had his gymnastics meet.
Joey & his coach Mr. Matt. Joey decided after four years to not continue with gymnastics. I can't lie, I'm thrilled. Gymnastics was just soooo long and such a commitment.

No more pre-k :(

Clarissa had her last ever end-of-the-year pre-k party. :( When did my babies get to be so big? It really is amazing to see how much my kids have grown. Between Joey and Clarissa, we've had this same group of wonderful pre-k teachers for FOUR years. It was really tough to say bye to them. Obviously, we still get to see them since Clarissa still attends the same school, but it's just not the same. We absolutely adores these wonderful women.
I love that our community really emphasizes family. The kids are always welcomed (and encouraged) to attend siblings' festivities.
Joey and his friend Charlie got to attend the pre-k party. :)
Ms. Tammy is so talented!
Clarissa's class made this sign for their "carnival." She was so proud of it!
Clarissa and her friend Cece.
Clarissa's "cotton candy"
Final pre-k class picture :(
CJ & Ms. Erin
CJ & Ms. Tammy. Clarissa seriously LOVES Ms. Tammy. She loved both Ms. Erin and Diana, but Ms. Tammy . . . my, oh my. She would attach herself to Ms. Tammy as soon as she saw her. She constantly invited Ms. Tammy over for sleepovers.
CJ & Ms. Diana.
CJ & her friend Hope
The girls were handing out tickets.
I sometimes hula-hoop (I read an article it's good exercise, but really I just like doing something Keith's can't do) so both kids learned how to hula hoop over spring.
Here's my baby boy hula-hooping.
