1st Grade & Preschool Complete

It's strange how quickly a school year flies by. Here's Noah on the first day of 1st Grade:

 Fast forward nine months to the last day of 1st Grade:

 Noah has grown up so much this school year. He's become a very good reader, enjoys math, loves PE and recess. He never complained about going to school. He loved to see his friends and he likes all his teachers.

 I'm so thankful he enjoys school. He was upset the other night because school was coming to an end and he wouldn't be able to see his friends every day anymore.

 Hopefully, I can make good on a promise to have a few of his buddies over during the summer.

 He's also grown more freckles this school year.

 Noah developed the habit of going to grandma and grandpa's house for breakfast. The bus left the yard at 7am each school day, but Noah would get there by at least 6:30 to ensure he'd have enough time for breakfast. Today, Levi joined in.

 Today was also the last day of preschool for Levi. He spent two years at the Kinder Haus in Goessel and loved every minute of it. His teachers, Gayle and Aunt Pat taught him a lot - most of the time he didn't even realize he was learning. That's the beauty of preschool, learning and fun go hand-in-hand.

 We are so thankful for the four years of education Gayle and Pat provided for our boys. It's a bit sad to see our preschool days come to an end.

 But we know this silly little guy's ready for Kindergarten!

Levi declared he's now a kindergartner and Noah wants us to call him a second-grader.  My goodness, time certainly does fly by.
