September

The rest of September was spent getting back into the school routine with some weekend activities mixed in.  

Of course we did some apple picking which included tree climbing this year.

Jack had his 7-year checkup.  Healthy as a horse.

He is closing in on 70 pounds and is hovering between 4.25' and 4.5'.  

We learned about compasses and how to use them with Mass Audubon.

And how to use a compass with a map.

We helped out at the annual Fall spruce up at school.  

Here is Jack in front of the tree we planted at school three years ago.

Birthday and Grade Two

In an effort to continue catching up on past events, here is some news from September.

Jack had a birthday last month and he turned seven years old.  

We had a small family gathering to celebrate and gave Jack a few gifts ahead of time.

Oh, the birthday theme this year was cats, hence the ears.

 Cake time.

Cat box cupcakes.

 Cat piñata.

Then a quick two days later, Jack started second grade!

More to come!
