Ha! What a 'creative' answer! ; )

If Dylan were president of the United States, he would wear Abraham Lincoln's hat. Great answer!

Dylan's Christmas program was adorable. He sang his heart out and did all the motions like a pro. He's been singing Away in a Manger ever since : )

Dylan finally gets to start preschool! Ms Vicki and Ms Ellen are going to love on Dylan this year and he couldn't be more excited! Look out Pre K 3, here he comes : )

My Third Annual Mom's Breakfast at Valley Ranch Preschool! The little bits of time that I get alone with any of my boys is always so special. I love that our preschool incorporates a mom's breakfast and a dad's breakfast throughout the year for a little one-on-one time with our kids. Garner and Garrett have been in school together for the last two years and they'll be in the same class at Faith together next year. We joke that the pictures we take of them together are going in the Rehearsal Dinner slideshow someday... but I don't think we're actually joking!

 The Tooty-Ta dance... always a favorite!

This Christmas season has been so fun! Garrett's preschool Christmas program, the live Nativity, Christmas eve service and the Dickinson's house for Christmas eve dinner and time together. Charlie's parents came for a visit and got to celebrate Christmas with us this year, which the boys loved! Owen even cooked us dinner one night - his special egg casserole : )

Yet another parade... the Harvest Hoedown!

October 6, 2014

Garrett's class has parades all the time. All. The. Time. Here are a couple cute ones from the Ancestry Parade (he dressed in Pittsburgh gear!) and the Pet Parade. The shots with Garner are to use during the rehearsal dinner someday ; )

Garrett's first day of Pre K 4! This little fellow has been asking when he gets to go back to school all summer and the day is finally here! He could hardly contain himself getting ready in the morning and ran into Ms. Amanda's classroom hardly looking back. He and I have been doing school all summer to get him ready and he is more than ready! He knows all his letters, all their sounds, has incredible handwriting and knows all his numbers. He's going to do great!

Every year our preschool has a Mom's Breakfast in May around Mother's Day. It's always super sweet and the kids sing a special song about moms, give us a gift and we eat breakfast together. I love spending one on one time with Garrett because it happens so infrequently, which we are trying to get better about. Ms. Vicki and Ms. Lori have been amazing this year and we love them as much as they love Garrett. Also pictured, the future Mr and Mrs Fox : )

Preschool is one reason to have a parade after another, but the kids sure do love them! President's Day this week gave us a lineup of Statues of Liberty and Abe Lincolns as far as the eye could see : )

Garrett is officially in Pre-K! He goes two days a week from 9-2 and is really enjoying it. One of his best buds, Garner, is in his class too. Ms. Vicki is his teacher this year and there are only 7 other kids in the class. He seems to be loving having his own special thing and Owen and Eli are always excited to ask him about his day in school.

These videos are a little long but SO worth it. They are both from the Mom's Breakfast back in May at their preschool. Enjoy : )

Today was bittersweet - Owen and Eli graduated from Preschool and were turned loose to me for homeschooling Kindergarten next year. I can't believe how much they have grown and changed this year (including growing in height by 2"!) They loved school and their teachers, Ms. Phyllis and Ms. Kim, and we're so thankful for the impact they had on the boys this year. They were in a class of only nine kids, which was the perfect learning environment for them. They are really excited about starting 'school at home' with me, but I know they'll miss their friends and teachers too. We loved VRBP and can't wait to see how Garrett likes it next year!

 All the graduates looking through their bibles they were given as a graduation gift.
