3 Months

Jack is three months old today!  He was all smiles after his bath this morning. He is starting to stay awake for longer periods of time and he doesn't always cry about everything.  Let's hope that continues!  EJ continues to be super sweet to him and is doing a great job in his role as a big brother.

Check out the thighs!  The boy can eat!

Goodbye Preschool

EJ had his last day of preschool.  It was a bittersweet day.  We are sad to leave but so thankful for all we expereinced through the program.  EJ loved his teacher and friends and he grew monumentally during his time here.  This school was one of the best things to come out of our move to California.  A really superb place.

Here is Mr. Matty leading the kids in singing the goodbye song.  EJ is fighting back tears.  So precious.

All th kids made cards and helped with the Goodbye sign.  We hung it in his bedroom so he could continue to enjoy it.  Both EJ and I made good friends and we are so thankful for them.  It's translating into lots of playdates this summer.  Preschool ended Friday and Kindergarten camp starts Monday. I hope his next expereince is as fine as this one was.

Paul & Carri Visit

We were so happy to have Carri and Paul come to visit us!  We had wonderful food and fellowship!  We also hiked around Torrey Pines and the views were spectacular! Here are some fun pictures from our weekend together.

At the Hotel Del Coronado

The guys!

Our first time hiking Torrey Pines.  Jack was really calm and EJ loved our "nature walk."

Carri and I have been friends for 20 years!  Here we are for lunch at George's at the Cove.  She once wrote down 10 "impossible" prayers in her Bible.  My name was on that list to have a baby.  How fun to celebrate her answered prayer!

Art Show

EJ's preschool presented an art show to showcase the art that the students worked on the past couple months.  EJ wanted to draw Forsberg so his teacher found a picture of a black lab to use as an example.  EJ's finished painting is the red canvas.  The yellow shows the picture he used, his sketch and a picture of him at work.  He loved the project!

Here's his beloved teacher, Mr. Matty

 Eric and I attended the art show and we were so proud of EJ's work.

 The students also presented the race track that they created.  They used and electric sander and other tools along with glitter pain to make it a super cool race track.  EJ would talk about his work on the track every time he came home from school. 

 In true Reggio Emilia form, all of the student projects are storyboarded.  It was neat reading about the progression of the race track.  It was completely student led and Mr. Matty just acted as a resource and helped them achieve their goal. Pretty amazing for 4 year-olds!
