First Grade Meets Master Artist Piet Mondrian

This year I have been volunteering for Meet the Masters program in Spencer's class. Each month we meet a new artist and do some type of art work that resembles the work of the artist of the month. Each time the student's art work turns out so beautiful. I just love to see the concentration, questions and different work from each student using the same materials. We do a short lesson on the artist themselves too, I love to hear the comments whenever I show the portrait of the artist too.

We always enjoy the parade. Great time with friends. Everyone agreed that the marching bands were their favorites.

Birthday boy!

Our darling Spencer turns 7. The most fun birthday I have been to in a long time!  Birthday on wheels was the theme...skate boards, roller blades, bikes

and scooters with friends! 

Boy on wheels

Spencer found a new love recently. He calls it " a board and four wheels". we are super proud of how he wants to try new things and practice getting good at them.

{this moment} - A Friday ritual. A single photo - no words - capturing a moment from the week.

A simple, special, extraordinary moment. A moment I want to pause, savor and remember

In the wilderness

This wide open space far from asphalt, traffic, people, and distractions is something I am proud to say I have instilled a love for in my boys. Spencer asked to go to the frog ponds in the dunes. So we took a little drive on Sunday afternoon to find out just what we might find in the wilderness. Frogs, salamanders, tadpoles, ducks, and two very excited boys finding their wilderness.
