Goldilocks and the Three Bears

So, Kindergarten has proved to be a wonderful experience for Walker.  I can't even begin to explain how much he's learned and grown, so far, this year.  At the beginning of the year, Mrs. Fox asked us if there was anything specific she should know or work on with our children.  I told her how shy Walker was.  Not that this was a bad thing, but I was a bit concerned that he might not speak up for himself if other kids were being ugly, etc.  So, Mrs. Fox made sure to help Walker come out of his shell.  Wow, has she succeeded.

The two kindergarten classes have been working on their Goldilocks and the Three Bears play for awhile.  Yesterday (the day before the performance), they found out Hudson (one of Walker's best buddies') couldn't be in the play.  Turns out Papa Bear had pneumonia!  Well, the class was discussing it and Walker raised his hand and said, "I'll do it!  I WANT to be Papa Bear!" So, off they went to dress rehearsal and he apparently knew every single line!

Today was the actual performance.  And, Papa Bear was FANTASTIC!  I'm so proud of the fact that he stepped up and handled this situation so well!

Here are some great pics:




Here's the whole cast.  Aren't they so cute!


And, a good look at my adorable Papa Bear:


Bunny came to see the performance:


One very proud mama:


"Someone's been eating my porridge."


Here's the amazing Mrs. Fox.  What a blessing she has been.


And, our little heartbreaker with the girls.  He LOVES Reese and Andy.


Such little cuties.

I think I say it a lot, but I love this stage of parenting.  Walker is such a joy and it is so exciting to see him learn and grow.  We couldn't be more proud!

Just for Fun

I have a few pictures to share, so this is just a fun post!

First, it's official, these two dogs belong to DADDY!!!  They love him more than anyone else in the house.



Silly girl…. cupcake costume and all.


Tball season is upon us, once again!  We are thankful for some nice weekends to practice!




Clark decided to sit outside in the gorgeous weather.  The kids were very interested in why he wasn't coming inside!  This picture cracks me up!


And, one more picture of outside fun.  They thought it was quite fabulous blowing bubbles into the pool!
