Back to School 2009

School began early this year...August 17. Entirely too early for me...but Anna was excited to start third grade. She looked adorable heading off with her backpack:Tanielu started Kindergarten! I was so proud of him...so handsome and confident. He ran ahead of me into the school. He is still young though...he had me give him kissing hands before leaving. I found myself crying all the way to the car. I told Tani they were "happy tears." There is something joyful and sad about the way time keeps moving along. He will never be home with me more than now...he will just go more and more. That is the way it is supposed to be I guess.Owen started preschool at Learning Dynamics. He is excited to learn to read this year. He went right to class too...no problems. He said he felt like he wanted to cry but he just "tried really hard not to." My tough little guy!

*William's 2nd Birthday*

Wow! My baby is already two! William is the most joyful soul I have ever known. He is always happy and smiles at everyone. He is constantly trying to find ways to make us laugh. What a pleasure it is to have this positive energy around the house! I can't believe that in the last year you learned to walk, run, and then climb all over everything. You think you are the same age as your brothers and want to do everything they do. You are fearless...I am afraid you will be a daredevil! You have earned quite a few nicknames: Billy, Golden Boy, Billy Rockle (from the motorcycle/"rockle" you always carry), and Rock a Billy. You love to give kisses and love to laugh. At night you like to watch "Finefeld" with Daddy. Your favorite tv show is "Go Diego Go" and your favorite song is "Twinkle, twinkle little star." You love to play catch in the evenings and never loose focus.
Happy Birthday to our wonderful Billy!
