Celebrating our last ECFE class

 
Last Tuesday, May 21, 2013 I took the boys out to celebrate the last day of our spring ECFE (Early Childhood Family Education) session.  We enjoyed some chicken nuggets, fries and water. It was simple, but so special for the kiddos. {And me, too!}  Quinn was practically bouncing all the way to the booth, and was so pleased when I told him he could choose our spot. I never do this sort of thing!  We go on 'field' trips often, but I always pack a healthy bag lunch. This was a 'treat.'
 
On Wednesday (the day after our lunch), it occurred to me that this was Quinn's very last ECFE class. He is registered for Preschool in the Fall, and ECFE is education for young kiddos before Preschool. We have been doing this activity since Quinn was six months old. I have met so many wonderful friends and educators. I have watched Quinn's development and milestones through this experience in the last three years. I almost cried when this dawned on me. I am so glad I gave in to that feeling that we had to celebrate our last day. It's an end of an era, in a way.
 
...But, with endings come new beginnings. He is going to make such an awesome Preschooler next fall. And I am already looking forward to receiving our new ECFE catalog in the mail so that I can start this special memory for Jack and I, come September!

Memorial Day Weekend 2013


 
Our family had a great holiday weekend up north at the cabin! It was the first time we have been back since August 2012, and it was a lot of fun!  The boys had an absolute ball. They are both on the go, go, go.... From the time they wake up (even if that time is 6am), they want to be loud, play, explore.  What better place for little boys to do just that than at the cabin?! 
 
Thanks so much for having us up, Jan and Stan!
 
We are already looking forward to the next time we can  make more memories at the cabin!
