Kindergarten

Dear Ryan,

You started kindergarten! 

I cannot believe you are big enough to be in school. You have been my constant companion for over five years and now if feels like I am loosing you. I am glad that you only go in the mornings and not all day. 

You are so happy to be going I school with Grace. 

Your teacher is Mrs. Walters and you say she is very nice. 

Phin is in your class. His older sister Brona is in Grace's class. 

You will be sitting next to each other in class. At the Popsicle party that was held to get to know the kids before school started you and Phin shared a twin pop. 

While you were at school I felt a little lost. I know Connor felt the same way because he wandered around the house looking for you. 

I love you! I am glad that you are growing, but at times I wish you would stay my sweet little boy forever.

Girls' Day

Dear Grace,

As I spent the day with you I realized just how much you have grown. You are ten years old and are almost a young women. 

We ate Panda Express takeout in Murray Park. I am apparently going to Asia. 

You had so much fun walking around the park and climbing the trees. 

After getting you new glasses and some school supplies for Ryan we went home and painted you nails. 

I feel so blessed to have you as my daughter. You are patient and so full of love. You are an awesome helper and never complain. Your brother both love you so much and want to be like you. 

I have been impressed how you write in your journal and read your scriptures each night. You push me to be a better disciple if Christ. Our family is better with you in it!  

Love you!

Mom
