Baking Cookies

Viv has been baking at school. Today she brought home some cookies to share (well, we hope she'll share).

The Neighborhood Playhouse

Our car has become Viv's favorite place to play.
The neighborhood kids like to play in the car too!

Playdate with Kathryn

A few weeks ago, Kathryn came over for a playdate. The coordinated outfits were not planned!

Avalon

Saturday we went to Avalon to visit Nana. It was a windy day at the beach.
Viv wasn't so sure about the pounding surf.

Bouncing Fun

Such a cutie.

Toddler House

Today Viv begins preschool at Greene Towne School. The Toddler House is separate from the Primary school.

We thought you would like to see Viv's new classroom.

A Sad Day

Today was Viv's last day as a Busy Bee at BHP.

This is Miss Christine
This is Miss Layanue.

Viv loves Miss Layanue and Miss Christine. She loves all her friends. When we said our good-byes today, Viv didn't understand that she wouldn't be coming back on a regular basis. I did and I'll admit to being a little teary. We are really happy Viv enjoyed such a positive experience. Photos of Viv's new classroom tomorrow.

Smiling Friends

Porter Picnic

While we were in Indiana the Porters gathered for a picnic.

Indiana Visit

Last Thursday we went to Indiana to visit Jeff's family. Here's Viv on her first plane trip. She was a great traveler.
As soon as we arrived Josiah took Viv for a spin on the Gator.

Viv really appreciated Josiah taking her around.

She didn't want to get off the Gator.
