Kindergarden!

Anna had her first day of elementary school today. She was excited and very nervous about school and new friends this morning. After school, Anna was excited and ready to go back in the morning. I am happy that she had such a nice first day of school.

Sam's First Day of Pre-School

Mr. Sam with his backpack on in front of his new pre-school. Sam brought his Monkey named "Sam" with him and had "circle bread with chesse" as his lunch. He had a great first day of school. Sam picked the hook as his symbol and spent most of his day playing in the sand box. Sam wore a coat that was worn on Henry B's first day of school. Sam was just a few day's old when Anna started going to school at JLP in September 2008.

Return Of Milton

After being lost for almost a year, the swim puppy Milton, has been found. In celebration of the event, Stella wore her doggles.

Sam had a big day yesterday. After calling his sister, Anna, "Nana my Sister" for two years. He finally is able to call her "Anna." The best part was once Sam said it once ... so very proud ... he yelled "I got it! Anna my sister."

Fairy Queen Play Date

Unicorns: The Extinction

Anna and Sam play acted the big bag theory to explain why the unicorns are all extinct this afternoon. The have been watching the tv show Dinosaur Train a lot this summer ... and well I thought it was a good guess regarding the lack of unicorns, pegasus, and dragons in Portland.

Three Years Old

Today Sam is three years old. He spends most every day now dressed as a pirate with a sash, sword, and pirate hat. He likes to explain himself to people as a "1/2 pirate." This is because Sam likes to brush his teeth and everyone knows that pirates do not brush teeth. When Sam wants to feel extra pirated, he will use an ice cream scoop as a hook hand and take off one shoe to pretend that he has a peg leg. Sam has a great imagination and is a lot of fun to watch in action ... we are lucky to have him in our lives. Happy birthday my pirate boy.

PDXYAR

Captain Cockroach, we meet again ... this time Sam was much more prepared for how amazing it is to talk to a real pirate.
