Hayley's Preschool Graduation

Our little Hayley is now a preschool graduate! She just had her last day of class and a fun graduation ceremony, complete with lots of songs and a diploma. Hayley is going to miss all her preschool friends and "buddies," as well as her teacher, Mrs. Manno. (Collin had Mrs. Manno as his preschool teacher, too -- she's great.)

Soccer

Six year-old Collin just started playing soccer in a kindergarten league. They had three practices and then their first game -- which was a 3-3 tie, but Collin scored a goal!
