Ryan 2015

Highlights: Ryan had a great first grade year.  It was a rough beginning because we had just moved from California.  It was a little scary to be in a big new school, with unfamiliar faces.  However, by the end of the year, Ryan was thriving and had many friends. He is kind to all. On one of the last days of school, I went to a puppet show put on by members of his class.  Three or four of the boys in the class named their puppet Ryan.  To me, that shows what a great example and friend he is to those around him. Over the summer, Ryan and Luke had their tonsils out.  That was not a fun experience and one we are glad to not have to repeat.  Two weeks after the surgery, school began.  He is loving second grade and is an all around happy and helpful kid!

Luke 2015

Highlights: Luke turned 5 this year!  He graduated from preschool and began Kindergarten.  He really loves to learn and is picking up on reading and math very quickly.  Luke is full of energy and emotion.  He is adds life to our family ( and maybe teaches us a little patience).  Luke likes to do things at his pace, whether that be fast or slow... it depends on the activity.  He has a great imagination and love to draw monsters and himself in his different "modes": happy, mad, sad, scared, etc. He has a giant soft spot for his baby sister Cali and can't get enough kisses and cuddles from her!
