We have a house! And it is going down. I will try to catch up with the blog cuz I am beeehinnds. Below are shots that span from December, "before" right when the scaffolding had gone up but nothing had yet come down through our most recent visit. It gets a little confusing and I am going to to try to be more clear as I'll just post updates; although the befores and afters are fun! Things are moving along!!

Kindergarten graduation!

 Ah, the pomp and circumstance of a Kindergarten graduation.  The wonderful Principle Korth at the podium... The event began with the graduates singing a song to their teacher: And then the main event! Then we adjourned to the playground for cake and popsicles.  Alice with one of her closer friend, Chloe. And her AMAZING teacher who we will miss so much, Ms. Heintzelman! It has been a really good year!

And now that we have a kid, he set us up in the nicest secluded campsite, of which we took two pictures (we're bad at this sometimes.) There was wonderful hiking, an assortment of mushrooms to discover, and a giant hill of majestic old-growth pines that Brock aptly named "pine tree heaven." It's also quite refreshing to be in a site where you are actually allowed to gather your own firewood, and it's low-traffic enough that there is plenty.

 Brock was given the assignment of memorizing the poem "If", by Sir Rudyard Kipling. It is a wonderful poem, here was his submission to his teacher. They were also called on at random times through out the year to recite various verses impromptu in class. So deep.
