Kindergarten Celebration

Ms. Case's class sings an alphabet song, "Alphardy." I recorded only a portion at the beginning, and a portion at the end due to CFcard space--wanted to make sure I had enough room for plenty of pictures! (If it's not obvious, and you need help finding Josh, he's in the middle, wearing a blue shirt and blue jeans.) ;)

As we walked through the door, and even before I could see Josh, I could hear him squeal, "Mommy!" He was so happy to see us.... As the kids sang, "Monkeys and the Alligator," Ben smiled because he knew this song--Josh had just taught him the night before. But he wouldn't sing along....
Singing "Summer Days"....

Josh receives his certificate....

Proud Momma....

Friends--Conner, Josh, and Nathan....

Josh with yet another friend, Alex....

Josh's best girl-friend, Chloe (there's at least two others)....

We are so very proud of Josh. His teacher, Ms. Case, had a lot of praise for Josh, and said she enjoyed working with him, that he was a pleasure to teach. Way to go, Josh!

Sunday afternoon at the Park

A lively game of tag. Look closely, and you see Josh looking down as Daddy and Ben are trying to find him. My little monkey....

And what little boy could ever resist playing in the sand? ;)

We're "empty-nesters"

5/29, Feeding time....

5/29, hungry babies....

6/2, getting some feathers, eyes still closed....
6/4, more feathers, turning brown, eyes open....

6/6, eyes WIDE open, ready to fly! And they're very noisy! We can hear them from inside the house, with the TV on! "Mom" & "Dad" are also noisy, calling to them almost constantly, as if to say, "Come out, come out!" 6/8, and they're gone. Bye-bye birdie.
