Homework

Peter had his first homework assignment last week. I was expecting him to drag his feet about it, but he was SO excited to do it! He sat at his little desk and was quite diligent about practicing the correct way of writing his name. I know this will not last forever, but for now it is sweet to watch him be so excited about it!

Rockets and Fondue!

What on earth could these two things have in common? Well, not much except that they were both part of a very fun Saturday for the Koontz Family! We had a great time at the park launching a rocket that Peter got for his birthday. The boys enjoyed helping Charles get it set up and then watching Daddy launch the rocket. They especially enjoyed shouting, "Everyone, stay back!!". The boys were amazed over and over as they watched the rocket launch, "All the way to the moon!".=)

I decided to try something new and adventurous for dinner...fondue! The boys loved it and actually didn't attack each other with their fondue forks...although they did want to pretend they were light sabers! They did enjoy the tasty food, though! Fun day!!

He's Still My Little Boy

Peter is loving school and he turned 5 last week. I have had lots of people ask me if this is emotional for me. It definitely has been to a certain extent, but I am mostly really excited for him. I have also had lots of people comment on how he is growing up and that is, of course, true. However, when Caleb and I drop him off at school and he shouts to us over and over, "I love you, Mama! I love you, Caleb!" as we walk to the car, I know that in so many ways he is still my little boy.

PK's First Day!

Peter had his first day of Kindergarten today. He was so excited and it seems like he had a great day! He can be a boy of few words at times, so I didn't get a whole lot of details, but he seemed really happy when I dropped him off and even happier when picked I him up. His teacher's name is Mrs. Austin and she seems really nice. I can't believe how grown up my little boy is! Here are some pictures from his special day:

Flashing me the "I love you" sign while waiting in line to go in to his class...so sweet!

Walking into his class...looking very proud!

Still looking happy at the end of the day!
