Preschool programs

Hannah and Ethan finished up preschool on the 1st of June. In mid-May they had their end of the year programs--which basically entail singing four action songs (lasting a total of 5 to 7 minutes), while parents and grandparents affectionately and somewhat foolishly videotape and snap tons of pictures. :) Our own two shining starts are pictured below. Ama and Papa (Mandy's parents) made the trip up for Ethan's program. Hannah's was the following night, and Papa graciously made the trip for a second night (Ama was busy). Hannah and Ethan had a great year of preschool with wonderful teachers. We especially saw a big change in Hannah this year--last year we sometimes had to drag her to preschool, and she was very reserved and shy. This year she loved going every day, and the last two weeks of school was getting very sad about preschool being over soon. She said, "I'm going to miss Mrs. Soehren and Mrs. Johnson. I love them." Ethan's teacher Mrs. Spangler talked glowingly of him and said she would love to have a whole class of Ethans. We think our kids are pretty cool too :).
