Lincoln's first full (half) day

After a week of a little, a little more, and a little more still, Lincoln finally arrived at his first full day of Pre-K today. Two hours, 45 minutes of good times!

So we acted like it was his first day and treated it like we have all of Levynn's.




And he came home talking about a BFF!

County fair in the big city

We went to Garfield Park Conservatory's annual County Fair yesterday, and the highlight was a woodworking session that was very hands-on to the kids' delight.

Here's Levynn at work.



Lincoln did it, too.



And here are the finished products.

Then they put their hammers to use.

So, about Lincoln...

Wondering about him, now that it's been more than a week since Levynn started school?

Well, his Pre-K classes will start next Wednesday with a drop-in hour, followed by a full hour each Thursday and Friday, 1 1/2 hours the next Monday, two hours Tuesday and finally a full half day Wednesday. From there, he'll attend five half-day classes a week.

In the meantime, as part of the school's easing-in process, we were visited at home today by one of Lincoln's teachers, and it went very well. We think he's ready to go!

A Wedding

A friend of Mom's from work got married a few weeks ago and Mom helped her get things together. Here are some pictures:

Here's Mom and the whole bridal party, including that cute little flower girl.

This is the Lovely Levy as the flower girl.










And Levynn danced the night away. Maybe we'll get video of that here, too. But there's a lot to sort through.
