First day of Kindergarten!!

Alex was so excited! We had a great orientation yesterday and I think his teacher is going to be wonderful. Today was hard for Mama, though. I didn't even get to hug him goodbye because as soon as he saw his classroom and teacher he ran up to her, she started showing him where to put his backpack and lunch bag, and he never looked back at me again!






































Look at how he's grown since last years first day of preschool picture!

Happy 6th Birthday, Alex!

Alex woke on his birthday with his room decorated. This was a tradition in Kim's family growing up. He really loved it. After that he had a birthday donut (he had told us the day before that his birthday wasn't going to start until he had his birthday donut). We met Chris at Waffle House for a late breakfast, and then later that day had family over for a Scooby Doo birthday party!

















































Alex loves to dress up...
thanks for the Spiderman outfit Mike, Susie, and Sophie

Guess who?!








The day after Alex's birthday we visited Lake Winnie amusement park with our good friends the Cooks































The cutest part, which I did not catch on camera, was that Alex and Hannah held hands the whole paddle boat trip as they sat in the back




















































We had a great time!! Thanks for coming to visit!
