Liam's First Day of 2nd Grade

Liam is still adjusting to getting up early.  He likes to go to bed late and sleep in, which he does in the summer.  Even though he was a bit tired, he was excited to see his friends and start school.

We had visitors at the end of the day.  Grandma & Grandpa Herman stopped by to check out the new school.  Grandpa and Liam posed by the old school bell (which was used in 1920 - Grandpa's Mom used to hear the bell ring when she was in school)

Lilly's First Day of Kindergarten

Last night Lilly had an open house at school.  She got to meet her teacher Mrs. Warning and see her classroom.  She was excited to be in her classroom and especially excited that her teacher gave her a package of goldfish.  We came straight from ballet, so Lilly was still in her leotard and tights.

Lilly was so excited to go to school today!

July 2017

We've had another fun month, filled with summer activities.  In addition to our Pure Michigan Vacation, we went to Connor Prairie with Ellen Milligan and her grandkids.  We also went to Michigan to swim in Grandma's pool and visited Greenfield Village.  We registered Lilly for Kindergarten. It's hard to believe she'll be in Kindergarten this year!  We also went to a 50 Wedding Anniversary party for Terry & Ellen Milligan.
