First Day of First Grade

This year, Eli will attend first grade at Chr*stian Heritage Schools. He began the school year a week ago today and is doing well. Being only one of nine students in his class is good for him. As is typical Hall tradition, here are some first day of school pictures.

A Day At S*x Flags

For Christmas, Bryan's Aunt Kuita bought our famiy passes to S*x Flags. This is the first year we have ever attempted a theme park, and it turned out to be lots of fun. I didn't bring my camera every time we went, so I don't have a lot of pictures. On this particular day, Bryan and I took the older two kids, and left Josiah at home with my mom. While he enjoys the park, he tires out well before the other two. Thank you, Aunt Kuita for a summer full of wonderful memories!

Being Silly

Seriously... do these kinds of pictures ever get old?

Move Over Bill Gates!

Josiah LOVES to play on the computer. He would park himself infront of the screen for hours on end if he were allowed to do so. I am AMAZED at how well he gets around on various childrens websites!

Josiah turns 2!

It's so hard to believe that our Josiah David turned two on June 25th. My how time flies! We had a very low-key celebration this year...... just our family and an Elmo cake.

Unfortunately, he was not being very cooperative, so I wasn't able to get a really good "birthday picture". These will have to do!

Dresses from Grumpy

My dad, (Grumpy) enjoys buying dresses for Regan. During his last visit, Regan held a fashion show of all her newest gifts. The pink one was brought home from Greece!

Teacher Regan

Regan loves to play school. Just about every day, she lines up her "kids", (various dolls and stuffed animals), on every type of chair or stool she can find. It looks to me like a new student has joined the class... one that insists on sitting on top of the furniture! I always love to hear the way she interacts with her students. I know that her teachers at preschool and Bible class do a wonderful job of modeling patience and tenderness!
