Pierremont Carnival

Shane had a great time at the end of the year carnival at his new school - Pierremont Elementary. He got to play some games, won a few prizes, and best of all eat treats. He loved his snow cone but ate a bunch of popcorn as well. We got a sneak peek at his kindergarten classroom and some of the assistants. I am looking forward to meeting his homeroom teacher - Mr. Salt.

Shane's End of the Year Party

Shane's class had an end of the year ice cream social yesterday and we all had a great time. Paige and Shane had vanilla ice cream with sprinkles and, yes, both of them had seconds.  We played outside afterwards and Paige wandered everywhere while I was trying to talk to Shane's teachers. Thank goodness it was all fenced in!  Paige and Shane sat in the little red car on the playground so I managed to get a decent picture of them...it is so hard to get them both to look at me at the same time!  I got pictures of Shane's teacher, speech therapist, and classroom TA.  All of them have know Shane for a long time and will miss him greatly.

Paige's Graduation

My little girl graduated last Wednesday from her Kids Day Out program. There was an ice cream social for the parents and students.  We ate vanilla ice cream cups and watched a video of our kids singing, dancing and playing instruments.  Paige got a kick out of watching herself on the television. We received some nice artwork and a photo card with a picture of her class.  So sweet!!!

I am sure you can spot her - she is the one in the middle.  She will be attending 'real' preschool in the fall - 3 days a week!  Yeah for Paige (and Mommy)!!!

I took dozens of pictures today for my photography assignment and finally came up with these two. Our assignment was to take a fully focused picture (in manual mode) and then another with the background blurred. It is a subtle difference but it's there. They are pretty pictures nonetheless.
