It's Summertime!

It is so nice to finally have nice weather here! That snow and cold lasted way too long!

Alex finished kindergarten yesterday. He did so well in school this year and learned a lot of French! He made some friends and says he is going to miss them next year, but hopefully we can get some visits in over the summer. Alex will be attending Capitol Hill Magnet School for gifted and talented starting next year. He can go through 8th grade there and we are hoping that he will be challenged. We went to the open house last week and one of the girls from his kindergarten class was there, so he will see a familiar face in the fall. He does very well speaking French and will just starting speaking it out of the blue. He is still loving karate and working on his kata so that he can move up and work on his yellow belt. He is really looking forward to a fun summer!

Fletcher is growing so fast and becoming so independent. He really wants to do everything himself. He is chattering quite a bit and knows a lot of words now. He can count to 10 and is recognizing some of the alphabet, knows all his body parts and is pretty good at figuring things out. He loves Spongebob the most and gets really excited about the number 9. He adores his big brother (even though he's starting to try and scrap with him a bit) and he loves the dog (who tolerates Fletcher and is easily bought with food that Fletcher loves to give him). Clifford really is tolerant and gentle with the kids when I suspect other dogs would not be.

We have a lot of house projects to get done this summer, but our main goal is to have a lot of fun and get out and do everything we can!
