"First Day of School! First Day of School!"...Nemo

Wednesday was both Reed and Graham's first day of school. Reed started his 1st grade year and was so excited. His teacher is Ms. Goldhammer and he has 3 classmates from last year in this year's class including Noah, one of his best friends. Reed gets on the bus at 6:56 AM again this year, he still wakes up excited, I'm hopeful he stays this way for a long time!

Graham started preschool officially Wednesday. He has 2 years of preschool under his belt already. He was really excited to go to SAS like his brother. I had to put him in his PE uniform because they gave me the wrong size collared shirt. His bus came by at 11:15, it's a small bus or van, he was the only kid on it Wednesday but half the preschoolers went Thursday so hopefully tomorrow he will have friends to ride with. I met him at the school and the parents stayed in the classroom with them the first day. Graham was right at home, interrupting the teacher, talking up a storm. He loved the playground, fingerpainting and dress up. The red knight costume is his favorite!

At the end of the day, the boys rode home on the big bus together. When I met them at the bus stop, they were sitting together in the front row. They looked so cute, Reed was really watching out for Graham. Again, hope that lasts!!!!

Reed's 6th Birthday!

There is so much that I should have written about on my blog over the past few months and I plan to do a slide show from our summer adventures soon (once the kiddos are in school!) but at the request of my dear sister, Erin, I will update my blog tonight with pictures from Reed's party. The first few pictures are from the actual day, the boys had camp that day and Jeff had the day off for Singapore National Day. Reed opened his gifts in the afternoon. You'll see his Tower of Doom which he calls the Royal Kingdom. I think he's combining the Royals (baseball) and the Kingdom from our visit to Medieval Times. :) Also his new Wii game from cousin Zach and the rest of the Rollins clan.This past Sunday we went to Wild, Wild Wet waterpark (http://www.wildwildwet.com.sg/) with four other families, there were 9 boys in all. Sadly our friends, the Cains, had to leave early for soccer tryouts so they aren't in any of my pictures. Graham fell asleep halfway through but the other guys had an absolute blast. His friends were Ethan, Jonah and Liam Cain, Darian Hsu, Kenneth Nelson and Oscar and Noah Depp. Such great friends, such great fun!
