A week of firsts

This last week had a few milestones in our family and girls’ lives. The girls ended their first year of school and we could not have asked for a better first experience of school. They already miss their teachers, classrooms, learning circles, workbooks and friends so much. Here’s a photo from when we picked them up on the last day:

While at my brother-in-law’s master’s graduation in LA Ennyn asked for some paper to draw and write. Like me, she talks to herself as she works and I left her to her paper and pencil. Many minutes later she called out to me to show me what she had done. Looking over she explained that she wrote everyone’s names in the family. When I asked her how she knew to spell Daddy and Mom, she replied with that little girl know-it-all tone of voice, “Mommy, I just sounded it out.” Take a look:

Finally, take a close look at Enna’s new smile:

I think we’re ready for summer!
