I thought you might enjoy seeing some of Ean’s school work that he has done recently. His writing has improved tremendously, some might say he even writes better than me now.
The picture of Street Fair is when he was playing the gold fish game and he won a gold fish.
This week is a busy time of year for the town of Bluffton. The Carnies come to town and turn downtown Bluffton into a giant fair. The smells of Greasy food, the screaming teens, and sounds of the carnies yelling at you to play their games.
I’m posting three video clips from the Industrial parade. One of Mike’s limo business entry, with Ean walking, one of the girls watching the parade and one of my work’s first entry into the parade.
Enjoy!
When Grandpa Mike comes over, you never know what he brings.
Of course, the kids love that about him.
Sorry the first video is sideways. I thought I could have adjusted it after the fact, but Qik didn’t give me any edit capability.
Today Ean started his first day of kindergarten and will be in school for a very long time! He was very nervous in the beginning but when the Mrs Kober came by to pick him up from the car riders, he was all calm and cool and waved bye to us.
No tears fell today as he started his educational career. However, when we got back to the car and put Ella in her car seat, she pointed at Ean’s side and said “Ean’s Chair” and sadness fell upon the car.
The poor guy was pooped when we picked him up. He pulled his normal routine of telling us he doesn’t remember what he did but we eventually work it out of him throughout the day.
Sounds like he had a good time and he is looking forward to going back tomorrow.
Here are some pictures of the major event today:

As the first day of school creeps closer for Ean to start kindergarten, April and I wanted to thank everyone that helped us get Ean ready for school this year. We appreciate the generosity of our family in helping us supply him with the things he needs for the upcoming school year.
Ean is very excited for school to begin more than likely because he is tired of hanging out with us all summer and he is ready to get back to his preschool friends as well as meeting new friends.
We will keep you updated how things go this year, but as parents we feel more comfortable getting ready for school knowing that everything he needs has already been taken care of and he can just concentrate on his schoolwork.
Once again, I would like to express our thanks to everyone that helped us get Ean ready for school this year!
We took the kids to Lowes this morning and I forgot the camera so I had to use my phone for all of the pictures.
Ean was really into his project including putting on his apron and eye protection. Ella on the other hand didn’t want anything to do with the protection gear.
The kids project turned out very nicely and they are both enjoying playing with their new UFOs.
Next project is August 14th and it will be a bug box that Ean says he has to be there.
For his first year, we are very proud of how Ean is doing in T-ball. His ability to try and hit the ball has been great and he has only needed to hit off an actual Tee during the first game. Every game since he has hit when at bat.
Fielding on the other hand is a different story. Because they have put him out in Right field, the ball very rarely comes to him so he gets bored out there and doesn’t really pay attention. I wouldn’t expect anything less of him out there because of the lack of action.
However, we are still very proud of how well he is doing for his first year.
Here are some of the highlights photos from the season so far:

Ean is growing up. No matter what we do, nothing will stop it. On the final day of preschool, Ean had a play party where the afternoon preschool kids all got together in the gym (it was supposed to be at a part, however there were rain storms the night before).

It was a final farewell for all of the kids to have lunch and plenty of play for the last day of preschool.

At first we thought he was going to back out on us. However, he surprised us and not only enjoyed playing and but he told us how much fun he had playing. We are glad that enjoyed himself and we look forward to the rest of his games.

Ean’s first year at preschool is starting to wind down and the weather is starting to participate. Ean’s teacher, Leslie, wanted to give the kids some different type of activities. The kids played with sidewalk chalk, a parachute, and water balloons. The kids really enjoyed their day outdoors.
