Butler's Orchard 2015

It has become a tradition for us to visit Butler's Orchard every fall and yesterday, I got to take my dad and Daniel with some new friends from school. We just love it there! For me, it is the quintessential American experience and so much fun! It was a beautiful fall afternoon and we all enjoyed the different activities they had there including the hay ride, pumpkin picking, carmel apples, corn maze and more! So glad my dad got to experience it with us!

Daniel has Started Piano Classes!

We just came back from Daniel's 6th piano class. He has been taking a group class at Montgomery College and it has been fantastic! The teacher is excellent and his progress has been quick. He has been enjoying it more than we thought he would. Parents can watch the class and my dad has really liked it too. We are thankful that Daniel has this opportunity!

Fall is Here and We're Having Fun!

Second Grade Open House

Today we got to participate in Daniel's new second grade class during the school's open house for parents. Vovo Daddy got to experience it too and we were all impressed to see Daniel in his class, with his new friends and teacher.

We started the morning by walking Daniel to school. My dad has been with us for over two weeks now and for the last week, he has walked Daniel to school and picked him up alone every day. Vovo Daddy insists in carrying Daniel's backpack for him every time -- he is spoiling his grandson!

Second graders meet in the gym and then are taken to their class by their teacher.

Unpacking, getting ready for the day

It's a good size class, 21 students.

Every morning they start with a language review quiz.

We were impressed at how they all did their work quietly!

When you are done with the quiz, you can read while you wait...

Don't take more photos, mamae!
