Cameron's first day of !st Grade

Well we survived Cameron's first day of 1st grade. It is an adjustment for Cameron, Jorie and I to have Cameron gone all day. I hope it gets easier for all of us as the year goes on. He loves his teacher and is excited to be able to see all of his friends again, so I am sure we will all adjust.

This week we learned about airplanes. Each child got to make their own paper airplane and paper helicopter. For our field trip we went to the Cedar Valley Airport. It is a privately owned airport so we saw small planes. While were were there we got to watch a plane take up a glider (plane with no engine) and release it. The kids got to see both the plane and the glider come back in and land.

Jorie's 4th Birthday

So I am way behind in the bloggling business....

Here are some pictures from Jorie's Birthday Party. We were going to have a water party playing in the pool, water balloons and blowing bubbles. It rained for three days straight before her birthday and the forcast called for afternoon showers on her birthday so last minute we changed the plan and played Tangled games instead. And it didn't rain. Oh well they had fun anyway.
