Thomas the Graduate

Thomas graduated from preschool yesterday!  We sent him to Cloverdale Christian Preschool this year and it was a fabulous experience for him.  Miss Denise is a wonderful teacher and Thomas has learned and grown so much.  Besides learning all about letters, numbers, colors, shapes, etc; he also learned all the states and all the presidents of the United States.  I was thoroughly impressed.  He is so excited to move up to Kindergarten next year, but we will miss Miss Denise.  Congratulations, cute Thomas!

Jackson's Orchestra Concert

It has been so fun watching Jackson learn to play the viola this year.  He really enjoys it and we will definitely keep him going with it.  The concerts are pretty interesting as 60+ elementary age kids try to play together.  Their instructor plays the piano along with them so you can tell what they are playing, but there was definite improvement at this concert compared with the Christmas performance.  I actually caught myself tearing-up just watching all those kids who have learned so much this year.  Way to go, Jackson, and keep up the good work!
