Owl Artwork

Corben is now attending Brighten Academy Preschool

He goes 2 days a week during the summer and then will switch to 3 days a week in the fall.

He had a great first day and made this Owl. He actually cut all the pieces out with scissors by himself and glued the pieces on!  His teachers are Mrs. Sheehan and Miss Amy.

He also went for his 4 year check up at the doctor

Weight: 38 pounds (50%)

Height: 40.5 inches (50%)

We are so proud of our little boy!!

Food on a stick...the kids loved it all!

Reading Nook

The kids new Reading Nook

Cozy!! 

It is in a corner of the office

I made the red pillows out of place mats and the kids helped me stuff them and then I sewed them!

 (yes... read that right I sewed) 

Papa John made these custom book shelves and then I stained them. 

(Ikea spice racks were on back order, however, their site listed the dimensions, so Papa John custom made our book shelves for about the same price Ikea was selling them).

Love having Handy Men!
