Zander goes to kindergarten!

Zander is now in kindergarten! This is such as big milestone for him and one that really made me very emotional. It is a really big step and makes me realize our "baby Z" is all grown up.  Kindergarten is only 1/2 day so he is attending the after program at the pre-school he was at last year and the same school as Zaiden for the other 1/2 of the day.The change is also an end of an era with our "mommy days: which we had all looked forward to not totally come to an end (as we still have an afternoon) together, but changed. Zaiden is excited to have some 1:1 mommy time on Friday mornings and we still look forward to going out and having our adventures on Friday afternoons, but yet another change as the boys continue to grow up.   It has been great to have a chance to get settled in our new house and be able to start school in the district that will be our home for many years. Zander was excited for the transition to the big school. He was very excited that he already had some friends that are in his same class including our neighbor friend and one of his friends from T-ball. This made the transition easier as the boys were all ready to go to school together. He is such as smart, funny, creative guy and we know that he is going to do great not only this year, but throughout his school years. We celebrate this milestone as we embrace the changes and continue to look forward to all his bright future holds!

Family Vacation

We decided to have a close family vacation this year as we had been so busy with the new house. We decided to spend 6 days in Michigan and had so much fun! We began our trip in Grand Rapids, traveled to Holland, then spent some time in Saugatuk and South Haven for a beach day. We then traveled to Kalamazoo and ended our trip at a waterpark before heading back home. Mom and dad enjoyed checking out many of the breweries on the trip and the boys had fun at the beach and really enjoyed the theme parks with rides and the waterpark. We are looking forward to our future planned travels!
