Happy Birthday Grandma (& More Stuff)

Today is Grandma Sharon's birthday, and we want to wish her a fabulous day. We wish we could be there with her, but we will be seeing her in about 3 weeks, so we can all give her birthday hugs then. Happy Birthday Grandma!!! See you soon.

In other news, last week, Owen graduated preschool. It's always so funny to see those little kids in caps and gowns. As Owen put it before his graduation program, "I'm excited." He did great and even got up at the microphone to sing a little song.

I cannot believe that he will be in Kindergarten next year and up at the "big" school with his brother and sister. It will be nice having them all at the same school--at least for one year before Hannah moves onto middle school. I can't say I'm 100% sure Owen's ready, but the way our weather is shaping up so far, we'll have all summer to stay indoors and practice our alphabet flashcards. He has definitely grown and changed a lot over this year, and we are very proud of our little graduate.

Last week, we also had Pride Night for Hannah and Justin at school. It's pretty much what we always called open house where they show us different projects and things in their class. The 4th and 5th graders also do some performances. The 4th graders every year learn to play recorders in music, and the music teacher said that Hannah's class was the best 4th grade class she's ever had. She said they picked it up so fast and is the first class she's ever gotten to play certain notes like f sharp, that rather than just play a few songs on the recorder, she had them do a little play as well, so they did a little western play and then interspersed their music throughout. We don't have video on this, but they did sound pretty good.

Well that's it for now. Hannah and Justin have about 2-1/2 more weeks of school and then summer vacation begins. Really hoping some summer weather will come along with it. We need some sun!!!
