School Days

2 weeks ago, Deidre planned a awesome 'back 2 school' party for the kids. They had dinner, then made adorable thinking caps, and played games with chalk on the driveway outside. It was fun to get into the school spirit and get the kids excited for school. Here are some cute pictures from that night!







Jonah started 2nd grade last week. He has 2 teachers who team teach his class, Mrs. Dew and Mrs. Reasch. They are both excellent teachers. He is excelling in Math and Reading and has made some new friends (and luckily retained the old ones). Today we all woke up as the first bell was ringing-but amazingly we were only 5 minutes late! Jonah has been great at doing his homework right after school without complaint. As long as I have an after-school snack things are good! Pretty soon Jonah's pictures will be mostly toothless. He has 4 loose teeth-one of which is hanging by a thread. I can't wait till that thing falls out! The other teeth are growing in behind. Poor kid! Braces for sure. We love you Jonah!








Yesterday was Jonathan's first day of Kindergarten. He really seemed to love it. He commented on how much he liked his teacher, Mrs. Waddoups. He gave her 2 goodbye hugs. She seemed to be very impressed at his kindergarten assesment and recommended him for the ALPS program (advanced learning) as he is already reading, writing, etc. We will decide on that later, but we are so proud of our Jonjon already. Such a great kid!

Kjar Christmas Party 12/24/07

Hansen Christmas Party 12/23/07

Ok, so we have the usual white elephant gift exchange. I thought my gifts (that I gave) were pretty cool. Emily ended up with one of them which was a compact travel umbrella with a case, and a hula girl, you know, which can go in her new Toyota.

Anyway, the kids had their own, and Jon-Jon ended up with a pair of binoculars-which he had never seen before. He opened it up, and looked up with the most joyous expression. "LOOK WHAT I GOT!!!!" "Well what is it?" Grandma Gray asked....................To which Jon-Jon looked up with a very confused expression, and a drawn out silence......"Those are binoculars!" I replied. "COOL!!!" was his excited response. Still had no idea, and boy was he excited about it!
