12/17/10: Evan's Kindergarten Holiday Show

Today was Evan's Kindergarten Holiday Show. The kids did great, and learned a lot of songs. Here he is singing.

They sang There Will Be Peace and it brought a tear to my eye. I saw many parents wiping away tears. So sweet.

All the reindeers are his class.

Singing.

So cute.
And now back in the room after for Punch and cookies. His favorite part.
With Lauren telling him how well he did.

And with his buddy Molly.

Here are another video from the show of Rudolph.

9/8/10: Evan's 1st day of school!

Today is Evan's 1st day of Kindergarten! And first day taking the bus. This morning started off stormy and rainy but we managed to get a few pictures outside plus the rain stopped right when the bus arrived. Here he is ready to go.

Getting on the bus. I tried to be quick, unfortunately his eyes are closed. Hopefully will get a good one later when he gets home.

Getting on the bus.

The bus pulling away. You can see him in the third window back from the front waving to Mommy. It was so cute watching him wave goodbye to me. He is handling this transition much better than me. I had a whole range of emotions, happiness, sadness, excitement and nervousness. What an emotional day. A new Chapter in our life begins.

As you can see from the big smile on his face when getting off the bus he had a great day!

After school, 1 day down!

9/7/10: Orientation Day for School!

Today was orientation for both kids for school. Evan had Kindergarten orientation and Lauren had Pre-School orientation. What a big day!

Lauren all ready to go.

3/4/10: Evan is registered for Kindergarten!

I can hardly believe it. My little baby boy is going to be 5 and he is starting Kindergarten in only 6 short months! Where has time gone? Here we are going to his new school to register. It feels like just yesterday he started pre-school. Sniff, sniff.

Come on it is this way.
