Parker's 1st day at Pre-School | Bright Beginnings August 22, 2011

Parker did good today. He even woke up with a good mood and did not fight me to brush his tooth. I just told him "Parker you have school today and you HAVE TO brush your teeth" and he goes okay "I'll brush it with you after your shower" and he did. He watched his lil sis Kennedy from "trying to crawl" off the bed while I showered. Kennedy can roll over now. She prefers her right side. And she can lift up her head & shoulders and kinda do a crawl.

Lola watched Karsen & Kennedy this morning while we met w/ the Teachers & the other parents for orientation. There was about 10-12 kids in his pre-school class. Parker was not shy or afraid. He jumped right into the activities and he did not have a hard time making friends and playing with the other kids immediately. Although at "circle time" - Parker was a little anxious for Ms. Angie to finish the book she was reading so he can go out and play. Although noticeably the girls in his class sit & behave and the boys are the antsy ones. It's clear that the boys have shorter attention span. It was a good day. This Wednesday will be Parker's official "1st day."

2011 end of July | Tubing on the Lake with the Cousins (the Rozemas)

Jolie, Saul, Avery & Tanner visited us this July & August.  Tanner brought his buddy Max.  We tried wakeboarding and had an awesome time tubing.  Karsen & Parker are getting more comfortable on the boat with their lifejackets.  Parker is brave enough to sometimes try to swim without his lifejacket.
