4 McIntosh Apples

After a very quick year, Ean has completed his first full day school year. On June 7th, Lancaster had their Kindergarten Progression Ceremony, Ean broke out in songs that we have asked him all year what he was learning with the response “Nothing”. It was a fun and enjoyable experience that I’ve attached some videos to the post for those that couldn’t make it.

There were several tears as many realized that our little boy is growing up. Next thing you know he will be graduation high school and moving on.

I know that I’ve been bad about updating the blog. Hopefully I’ll get better at some point, however I will at least try and post some shots of the kids everyday.

This was taken during a lunch visit that I had with Ean during school. He was having a bad spell at school for a bit but seems to be over it now.

As I posted on Facebook the other day, I totally messed up recording Ean’s school program.

April couldn’t see Ean where she was recording, so she handed me the camcorder with the assumption that she had turned it off. I lined it up with Ean in the picture, but then promptly turned it off.

Use your imagination on how it would have looked, if I recorded the whole thing.

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.

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!

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.

Last Day of Preschool

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.

Ean got a chance to go the Wells County Library during L week at pre-school. The kids got read some stories and watched a small movie. They were all impressed with the star ceiling as the lights went down.

The kids also got a tour of the library and saw all the cool things that Ean could do “if” we lived in the Wells County. We are about a half mile from the county line.

Too bad, the library was a pretty good one.

I know that I’m several weeks late, but April attended Ean’s preschool party for Valentines day. The kids had a blast playing games and eating cupcakes and cookies. They played with a parachute and silly races. Great fun by all!

Here is some pictures and a couple of video clips to show for you.
