8th Grade Graduate
How time flies. In a whirlwind of spring events, we celebrated a very special milestone for our oldest Winklet. Alexander completed 8th grade and graduated from the A2 school- the same school where Serena attended as a child. It was a beautiful service that tied up the year (and the Continue Reading
Welcome to Infinity: J.O. Level 5
With a new gym, team, and coach, Alexander’s competition season also brought new scores! Not just ribbons but numbers as in following the Junior Olympic scoring regulations via USA Gymnastics. It was a good year for him as practices (2x/week) were a little more intense and required more discipline and Continue Reading
League Team and Ninja Stars- the Gymnastics Journey continues
This season we have two gymnasts on gymnastics teams. Alex continues with his third year on the League Team, and Aidan joins the Ninja Stars for his first year of competitive gymnastics. Alex is competing level 4 and 5 routines, and Aidan’s pre-team routines are really coming together as well. Continue Reading
Alexander on the Team
This year it’s been a lot of fun having the boys home all together again. Perhaps one day I’ll get to pull together a homeschooling experience post, but one of the blessings is that we’ve been able to commit extra time to the boys and their gymnastics training. Lucas began Continue Reading
Back to Camp Alex for EIGHT!
We have an EIGHT year old in our house! And since we’ve been all a buzz this spring about Camp and summer plans, he requested a Camp birthday theme for his big day. I wasn’t quite sure how that was going to work out, but with some help from our Continue Reading
Christmastime Wonderweek- Thursday
Thursday night was Alexander’s School Christmas program! He had been preparing for weeks and was so excited (and surprisingly not nervous– did he know he was supposed to be?) for his big presentations. He knew is class song super well (he’s been singing it around for days). He had been Continue Reading
A Fête for Five and Seven
Early spring is birthday season around here, and since their days are just over a month apart, every so often we love host a little celebration for Alexander and Aidan together. They’d been excited for this party for over a year and they picked an under-the-sea theme to celebrate the Continue Reading
Seven in the Skies
It’s hard to believe that our little Alexander is now seven years old. But indeed he had a super fun birthday to celebrate this special year. It started with a birthday eve drive to our buddies’ house (their little boy also shares the same birthday) for a sleepover outing– we Continue Reading
First Grade
Today was a huge wrap-up for Alexander’s Amazing Summer as he fluttered out of the nest for his first day of first grade. He picked his (favorite color) yellow shirt, and geared up with his backpack, lunchbox, (Zoobot), and two bags of excitedly purchased school supplies. He was nervous and Continue Reading
Alexander’s Amazing Summer
This has been a huge summer for our little Alexander. He’s lost two bottom teeth, turned into an underwater fish, and learned to ride a two-wheeler! It was a struggle to get him to ride the bike with training wheels– and then to take them off??? What??? Muma couldn’t run with Continue Reading
