Class of 2024

Today was the last day of Emily's kindergarten year. I can't believe how fast it went and that I am sad about it. Mrs. Hoff was an excellent teacher! She absolutley adored Emily, and Emily her. She pushed Emily in ways that were very helpful.  I can't decide if I am sadder than Emily or what. There is talk about the "coveted" 1st grade teacher, but I could care less who she gets, as long as she loves Emily as much as Mrs. Hoff does. 

Today they had a little end of the year ceremony/pancake breakfast with hats and everything.  Mrs. Hoff said this was probably the hardest year to say goodbye to, and then the kids all got up and said what they want to be when they grow up (Emiy said a teacher) and recieved a little certificate.

15 Month - Ruby

Ruby had her 15 month well child check today.  She continues to amaze Mike and I as we watch her grow.  We can't decide if we enjoy her more than we did the older two... AND if we do if it is because we have been through it and know what to expect which means we are more laid back or because we waited longer to get her so we appreciate things more.  Her perception and understanding is amazing to us.  We can tell her something like, "go get your shoes", usually because she is screaming at us to go outside, and she will bring us the matching shoes.  Or when we tell her, "go get mommy's shoes she will bring me mine."  We can also tell her things and she goes and does it right away.  She is good about folding her arms for prayers and loves to clap her hands at the end and say, "a-ma" which is her saying amen. She has about 15 to 20 words and continues to learn more.  She is feisty and mean, and wont take anything from anyone, if you are mean she wont have it.  See why I said feisty. She is a tornado and spit-fire and we sure do love her.
