Dear Bennett,

This was your year! You had a blast in Pre-K with Mrs. Marquardt. Your bonus year was truly a bonus! So much fun was had — Firetruck day, Pirate day, Reptile day and so much more. With your preschool graduation tonight, we officially leave preschool behind us — after 8 years! We’ve loved these little years. We know we’ll love having you all at the same school, too!

Love you,
Mama

Dear Owen,

You had an awesome year as a tiger scout. Dad was your den leader and you guys had a fantastic time. Y
This spring, you participated in the pinewood derby, went on a camp out, and bridged up to wolves at the end of the year. Bennett is so excited to join in the Cub Scout fun next year!

Love you,
Mama

Dear Hayden and Owen,

Today was your last day of school! You had amazing teachers this year and you both learned so much! On a side note, as we were trying to get out the door this morning, Dash’s leash slid under my feet while he was darting out the door and I lost my footing — which meant I slammed my head on the kitchen table and split it open! I ended up going to the ER with Laura after school drop off this morning and getting 8 staples in my head! Never a dull moment around here! Looking forward to having a great summer… after a good night’s sleep!

Love you,
Mama

Dear Hayden and Owen,

Your spring piano recital was tonight, and you both played wonderfully! Hayden, you opened the recital with an amazing arrangement of The Star Spangled Banner. Owen, you played a great rendition of Yankee Doodle Dandy a little bit later in the recital. There was not a prouder audience member than Bennett! He cheered SO loud after each of you finished your numbers. It’s amazing to see how you’ve both grown as pianists this year! We absolutely LOVE to listen to you play!

Love you,
Mama
