Last week I mentioned that I was thankful to be going to visit Andy's brother in Wisconsin and his family. It was fun to go this last weekend and I am thankful for the opportunity to share memories and develop relationships with them. The kids had so much fun. I will post pictures soon of our adventures.
I am thankful that today I got to go with the girls to Lyman's school for his Kindergarten picnic. We brought subways and sat on the lawn to visit and eat lunch with Lyman. It was fun to talk with his teacher and meet the friends he talks about all the time. He was always so cute when he talked about his friend Lela and his little boy crush on her was always a source of amusement for us. I met her today and spoke with her parents. It was funny to hear that she talks about Lyman just as much and refers to herself as Mrs. Lyman sometimes at home.
When I told Lyman about that in the car on the way home, I asked him if he thought that was cute. He said, "No." with obvious embarrassment and a small amount of "yuckiness" in his expression. He may have a boy crush on her but it seems girls are still gross. Here is a picture of her with him.
Pictured below: Lyman's man pals - Colin, Noah, & Ben. I love how each of them are missing teeth. If you click on the picture I think it will come up bigger and you can see.
This is Lyman with another one of his many lady admirers, Madilynn. It was really funny to see how many girls liked to be around Lyman. He is no fool either, he gathered more girls around him when he brought Ruby out into the field to play a bit. The girls flocked to him then. I just hope that someday he can be taller than them.
This is Lyman with his teacher, Mrs. McHenry. She has been a great teacher and gave me one of the best mom moments I have ever had today. She was very expressive in how good a reader Lyman is and how she thinks he ought to be able to do chapter books. She was very impressed with him and it made me feel proud of my little boy.
I am thankful for a successful first year in school for my oldest. He is growing up so quickly though.

Love the boys and their missing teeth! I hope Lyman will be tall too, but then I still believe my son when he tells me I'm growing - so I think I'm just delusional when it comes to the whole height thing. We are excited to see Lyman - maybe he can inspire Luke to read when we see you guys - last time we visited Luke started standing up to pee! Thank goodness for cousins :)
