We are so thrilled Charlie passed Kindergarten. The first few months whenever asked if he liked school, he would respond with negative comments. Later he admitted that was all an act and that in reality, he loved it! According to Charlie, his teacher Mrs. Beutler is the best teacher in the school and maybe the world. She is having a baby girl any day and we had a fun class shower to celebrate. Charlie recently got another buzz and he is always disappointed that the cut is not short enough. This time I relinquished control (who am I kidding that I ever had any) and now he is nearly bald and very happy! As you can see from the picture of his birthday party in January, he is not your ordinary six year old. He truly believes he is much older and I love to watch him stalking around playing "Pokemon trainers" and catching frogs and snakes with his big brothers and their friends. I love his great sense of humor, Olivia and I are going to miss him next year!
This year has been a doozey for Sam. We were so excited for him to be in an advanced school program and instead of it being this great learning experience he has had to suffer through mean Mrs. Moore and waking up early every morning. To make matters worse the poor guy found out about Santa and got the blow that we have our house up for sale again ( I know we cannot stay put!) To keep up his spirits he worked hard and earned his brown belt in Karate and did some serious skiing this winter! Next year can only be an improvement. We love you Sam!
