9.8.09 first day of kindergarten!



his teacher is ms. groesbeck. we were hoping that he would get her, so we were happy that he ended up in her class. isaiah really loves school. he is such a good kuya to ethan, trying to be really encouraging about ethan starting school. his classroom is just two doors down from ethan, so it was fun to hear that they saw each other in the hallway when they were on their bathroom breaks.

he's in school every day all day now...as it will be for the next 12 years!



isaiah is finally five! well it was a few weeks ago that he finally turned five. he had an alien/space birthday party. of course, i have no pictures of the the alien/space theme. on his actual birthday, he at a cake of worms and mud. mmmm!



one day after he turned five he was already asking when he would be six. he's so old. i passed by his room while he was sleeping the other day and noticed how tall he has gotten...my first baby is so big!

we love visiting the guevaras in cheboygan. especially now that the kids are older, it's fun for all of them to play together. of course there's some hitting and bickering and not sharing happening...but going to the beach, flying kites, getting huge scoops of ice cream for $1.75...all great parts of the wonderful land of cheboygan.



i remember when we first visited g, mads, and luci in lansing. it was so cute when isaiah would walk along the furniture and luci would come up and hug him. we joked around that they would love each other forever and get married.

this past weekend they got caught kissing under the tire at the playground.

??!!!

we told them to save their kisses for the person that they would marry. luci: "but i'm going to marry isaiah."

revision: we told them to save their kisses for when they were married. kissing now nipped in the bud. i think.

jump to bonfire and smores in the guevaras' backyard. isaiah and luci come inside...

luci: "me and isaiah are going to get married, and do you know what kind of car we're going to have? a limo! because we don't have to wear seat belts."

isaiah: "yeah, when we get even bigger! and there will be sparkly darkallies on the ceiling! like stars!"

luci: " do you want to practice walking in our wedding?"

apparently i missed some of the conversation outside where they determined that they would have three children and what song they would get married to.

sigh. they are 5 and 6.

there is so much in this world that we have to protect them from. i just hope that we can raise them with good enough values and spiritual fortitude to make good choices on their own.
