Kindergarten

Joshua has been very busy this school year learning so many new things. He attends school at the Charter where Benson teaches and I have been nothing but completely satisfied. It's called Legacy Traditional School, and focuses on patriotism and advanced academics. Aside from me loving the administration and faculty, Joshua & Benson do too. Joshua has many friends, peer age, and many lady staff, faculty and administration friends who adore him. They love his hugs and conversations. His favorites are his principal Dr. Croatt, and his teacher Mrs. Voyles. Both of which are absolutely awesome, (not to mention little hottie moms :) ).
I'm very excited about the curriculum and that he's been able to keep up and excel at it too. They're learning to read, learning addition, subtraction, counting in multiples and give an oral presentation every six weeks. He loves to learn and is so excited about socializing. His teacher sent a note home and said that a little group of girls save him a seat everyday at the lunch table. he's little Mr. social now which is great, since it used to be the opposite last year.
We love it here, the people were/are so welcoming & helpful from the start, the school is amazing, and the cheap housing makes life on a teacher's salary wonderful. We are grateful that we have been so blessed in these ways, it makes living in the desert so much easier :).

Has Joshua turned into a little flirty gentleman? He has lots of admirers out there in AZ. I am so excited about all the things he is learning and doing. He is a smarty.

How is Asher and Hannah? Give them all a BIG squeeze from us.

Cute!!! I hear your excitement over Joshua. As a mom of a kid whose behind, the littlest bit of progress is exciting, but to have everything going well, is exhilarating! Congrats, I'm really happy for you! Check out my blog entry entitled, "Welcome to Holland".
