Kindergarten Graduation

GRACE GRADUATES KINDERGARTEN!!!

On Monday May 24th, our big girl Grace graduated kindergarten. She has had such a big year! She spent the first 7 months of school in Fort Worth, Texas in the dual language program. There she learned half of the day in english and the other half of the day in a spanish immersion program. She excelled greatly in all areas of school work and loved every minute of it. In April we moved to Bentonville, Arkansas and Grace started a new school. Not long after she started it became clear that she was leaps and bounds ahead of the other kids in her class and she received an outstanding student award for her behavior and academics. Grace is such a special little girl. We are so proud of her, and love her to pieces!

Funny Things Kids Say

The last few days it has been raining and thundering here in Bentonville. It has been so wet that we have puddles and puddles in our yard. During the rain storm we had some serious thunder storms during that time. During the storms Mathew came into his mommy and told her that thunderstorms and rain where trying to break the house, as he hid under the covers.

Riley is working on walking on her own at this point. Everyday she stands up in the middle room and just stands there. She gets very exicted and starts clapping and smiling and all of sudden that excitment causes her to fall down again. The last couple of days she has started taking one step by herself without holding onto something, and today she took two steps with the same foot. She is really wants to walk, as she realizes that to keep up with her big sister and brother she needs to walk so she is putting all her effort into walking.
