End of the school year

Time sure can pass quickly! Tanielu had a cute graduation program at the end of the year. He has loved preschool. He is a smart little boy. I have been surprised at how well he can focus on his "homework". He says he needs to "get smart like Anna". He knows all of his letters and sounds now and can actually write them quite well. He gets along well at school and is VERY social for a little boy (where in the world does he get it?) I think he would do well in kindergarten next fall but he misses the cutoff by 9 days. I think in the long run it will be good though. He has an extra year to mature. Look at this smile. Can you just feel his giant heart? Anna finished up first grade with flying honors. Her teachers said she is a very bright girl and a leader! She even won her class spelling bee. I am so proud of her! We are starting at her new school in the fall and it was a little hard to say goodbye to Kids Village. It really has been a great school and has been heaven sent for us in the past two years during our diabetes adjustment time. I am so thankful for the wonderful people there! Anna is really becoming a confident, focused girl who loves learning.

Paula I waited to send both Hunter and Cooper until they were 6 to kindergarten (it is all day out here and they would have been barely 5 and not even 5 yet)
Anyways it ended up being so great! I think for boys especially for later when they are older, good for sports, and driving....anyway just my thoughts on it.
He does have a great smile and I can't believe how much you and Anna look a like! Too cute!

These are really sweet pictures of your kids growing up. Time does fly too fast. I can't believe you will have a 2nd grader next year. Remember the song at your wedding about "Turn around...." Too true.
