Brennan's First Day!

Well, today Brennan started Preschool. I think it was harder on us than it was on him. He was so excited to go and when he got there he didn't enjoy the picture taking anymore. He ran right into his classroom and got into his cubby for his name tag. Then, he decided that the teacher, Mrs. Harsey deserved a big hug. He was great and waved us out the door. He immediately set up the train depot for Thomas the train. He still hasn' t told us what they did all day, but I know eventually we will get it out of him. He keeps saying it is a "Secret." I know that they do some great things there, I just don't know what yet. I know they read a story, have math and science time, art, and do some home-living (small play kitchen).
I just can' t believe he is almost 4 years old, it truly seems like just yesterday that I made the phone call to everyone saying that my water had broken. The time has flown and he is just amazing. He is so smart and is reading words everyday. He reads everything now. He sounds it out the best he can, but he gets about 90% of them right. I don't know what I would do without my Brennan. He is such a joy to us and a terrific big brother.

Labor Day Continued

Labor Day Weekend!

This week has been a complete whirlwind. Pam (Ryan's Mom) flew into town a week ago Friday, and has had a blast with the kids and vice versa. They have been helping her pull weeds and playing outside, going for walks and playing "school." Brennan sets up a little classroom and Peyton and Pam are the students. Brennan calls them up to the front of the class to do different things such as sing their favorite song.

This week was also Ryan's Birthday. He is the big 33. It was fun to celebrate and to have his mom here. Ryan is not a big fan of cake, so I made both a Banana Cream Pie and a Lemon Meringue Pie. I was feeling very ambitious. I have made pies before, but had never attempted a Lemon Meringue from scratch. I must say it turned out quite well and got rave reviews from the family.

We also went down to the parents for Labor Day. We had a great time, we swam all day and had a barbecue. Here are some pics from our day.

Stay tuned. Brennan starts preschool tomorrow.
