I was walking by Davy’s classroom to go pick him up from piano when I spotted his goal for this year. Each child had a goal and most all of them were different. I loved Davy’s because he has been committed to working hard on his reading this year and we are so proud of him…
“I want to read longer and better”

Here is this year’s Shades of Blue auction project for Davy’s class. We had a lot of fun making this quilt and think that it turned out beautiful!

Well, today was Matty’s big interview day at Berkeley Prep. After months and months of thinking about this day, it has finally come and gone. He is smart, kind, funny, and beautiful….what more could they ask for??!!! At 8:30 on the dot the lady came to get him. She took him by the hand and they just walked off; such a big boy. The only question that I heard was, “Matty, how old are you?” In which he answered 4. He had to rebuild what she built with blocks, cut with scissors, recognize letters and their sounds, write his name, skip, answer questions about his family and draw a picture of them, know his shapes, and perform a few computer activities like matching, etc. They don’t tell you how it goes, but she did comment on how much Matty talked. Love him. At 9:30, right after Matty was Jay’s interview. To celebrate them officially being over we had a playdate. Sejal and I took the boys to the park, out to Burger 21 for lunch, and then came back to our house for a few minutes. Whewww…. Next up is the group interview on Saturday, and then we wait…and wait…until March 16th! Good luck baby boy!

Today is the 100th day of school. Davy’s project was to cut out words of things that he liked or described him. The letters had to exactly add up to 100, not one letter more or less. 🙂

This year the theme for the Winter Concert was “Twinkle and Shine”. Andy, Mom, Brandie, and myself all went to cheer Davy on. The show was beautiful and Davy did a great job on his speaking part. “The true meaning of Christmas is celebrating the birth of baby Jesus!” The audience laughed, we were so proud of him.
I know he is blinking, he had just looked down to give Andy a high-five, but you can’t fake that smile so I had to include this one…
Tyler Woods…
Mikey Mezack…
Danica Muroff…
Davy’s dancing partner is Devon Elder…

Happy Halloween Berkeley Students. This morning was the annual Lower Division Halloween Parade, followed by the classroom party. Davy looks so good being a soldier along with all of his friends. Such a spooky fun morning…

It was the first day of school and our boys were ready to go! The night before we laid out their clothes, packed their bags, and went to bed early because we all knew that 6:30am was going to be here before we knew it. Most of the summer the boys were getting up between 7-7:30, so this transition wouldn’t be too hard on them. For breakfast they gobbled down some pancakes with syrup and whipped cream and a big glass of OJ. With their bellies full, they got dressed, and we headed outside for our traditional in front of the house photo. Although I laid the camera out early hoping that the lens would adjust to the August humidity, it didn’t so a few of them are cloudy. Oh well, I’d rather have cloudy pictures instead of no pictures. 🙂
Davy is now officially a first grader. His teacher is Mrs. McElroy. Matty is in a Preschool 3 class called EP3 and his teacher is Ms. Adkins. Neither one of them seemed nervous, sad, nor anxious…just excited! We loaded into the car and off we went for drop off!
This year instead of walking Davy in, we let him jump out of the car from the car line just like the other older kids. He was happy.
We walked Matty into his new class. He too did a really good job. I expected him to be a little clingy, instead I think that he was just excited. We kissed him good bye and we were off!
Davy’s teacher shared some photos from throughout the week… Looks like everyone is have a wonderful time.
First grade boys on Friday’s officially have to dress in a blazer and tie, doesn’t Davy look so handsome…
Here’s to a wonderful year!

Throughout the year, the Kindergartener’s learn about reading and writing and at the end of the year they host an Author’s Tea. We sent in pictures and they spent time putting together these books which include their families, places they have been, things that they love and more. It should come as no surprise that Davy’s book is the only green one. 🙂 Davy did a wonderful job reading his book to us in front of his class and their parents… Love you sweet boy!!!
