School Days

Wow!  The first quarter of the year is already over for school.  Ethan is a 1st grader this year and Alys is in pre-school.  We just had our parent-teacher conference with Ethan's teacher, Ms. Kistler.  He is doing really well.  His teacher had nothing but good to say about him and I know he enjoys school.  I have the opportunity to go help out once a month for a few hours in his class.  It's fun to see what he does at school, see him interact with the other kids and also the fact that I can tell he's excited when Mom is there.  We're proud of his hard work and know he will continue to do well and make many friends.

Alys is also doing very well.  She is learning to read and very fast.  She is very eager to learn and her teacher, Ms. Katie, says there are days where Alys keeps her very busy.  She goes twice a week for 3 hrs.  She also loves school and is always asking me what day it is and if it's a school day.  We're proud of her as well and enjoy watching her grow.

Benjamin, well he's in Mom school.  He's my little tag-a-long.  I enjoy being able to spend time with him and hear him play and learn new things as well.  His big brother and sister are a great help with that.  He likes to sing the ABC song and counts pretty well.  Soon he'll be entering Potty Training?!  He's fun to have in our home as well.

Recently, I had the chance to take some updated pictures of them, so here's our little clan.  They're growing like weeds!
