Carley's Birthday Party

Hi All,

I wanted to get some photos off of my camera before the big day next weekend. This update is from Carley's 6th birthday party. Carley had a great time and just about all of her classmates were in attendance for the party.

Enjoy...

Hailey's Science Project

Hi All,

Hailey Rose went to school today with her first science project. She had to assemble a series circuit in a shoe box that illuminated her very own home made toy store. Hailey had a great time working on this project and even had to demonstrate her light switch for her classmates during her presentation. Either I am getting old or I am losing my memory, because I don't remember doing these projects when I was in the 3rd grade. By the way, special thanks to Grand Pa Jim for having some spare D batteries on hand to make this project shine.

ENJOY!

First Day Follow-Up

Hi All,

As promised (I am a man of my word) here are some photos that Tina snapped of Carley just before she headed off to her first official day of kindergarten. As you can see she was quite the lady in red on day one. Also I have added a brief video (shot today) to illustrate how much gray hair I will have in a few short years dealing with little miss attitude! ;-)

Enjoy!

Waiting for the bus....

How do you like my dress?
Okay the bus should be here by now...
I wonder what this attitude will be like at 15 when I lock her in her room?

Kindergarten Orientation

Hi All,

Yesterday Carley got to head over to her kindergarten class to meet her new teacher. Although it was not officially her first full day she did get to meet her classmates and check out her classroom. Attached are a few quick pics that I took as we prepared for the orientation. By the way, Tina took pics of her first official day of kindergarten this afternoon and I hope to put those pics up after dinner!

Fun at the Beach

Hi All,

Well I hate to admit it, but the unofficial end of summer has finally arrived. It was a great summer and the kids had a lot of fun. A few weekends ago we spent some time up in Rhode Island and I wanted to share a few clips with family and friends. Anyway, thanks for another great summer and even though I hate winter I am looking forward to seeing all of you over the holidays!

Take care and enjoy the clips.

(The quality isn't great because these were shot from my cell phone.)
