Friends, swimming, chicks & homeschool

Gabriel's friend Josiah recently celebrated his 8th birthday!


 
 Cute little Eli...
 Presents!

 Lunch with the church after the Sunday service...Gabriel was lucky enough to sit with his 2 best friends!

 
Guess what he caught?
 A little frog!

 Guess who can swim all by himself now?


Riding tricycles at Josiah's house...haha!
 Wearing his new frog shirt...
What a fun surprise...a mama hen with chicks! She found a very good hiding spot for her nest.
 At Firehouse Subs (sandwich place)

Hen + chick
We had to take the truck to the shop and while we were waiting, Gabriel had his first Pop-Tart! He loved it, but to me it tasted like cardboard with chemicals. Definitely not trying that again...
 
He actually asked if he could go on this and have his picture taken ;)
 Papa & Nanni sent him some money which, combined with his savings, gave him enough money to buy a new Lego set!


 Calling Daddy to tell him about his new Lego set.
 We were trying to finish the last homeschool pages for Kindergarten on Monday...but then Daddy came home and he wanted to go play ;)

Chickens again...there are 3 baby chicks! Unfortunately one is limping, but it seems to be keeping up with the rest...
 At work with Daddy yesterday...he found out that a lizard can release its tail...twice! Afterwards we went to see Papa and Nanni, unfortunately no pictures.
Our real last day of Kindergarten!
 Too cute!
 Moving our old, smaller chicken coop for the hen and chicks...



Teaching Gabriel about needles and shots...

 Gabriel graduated Kindergarten today! We are starting 1st grade next week!
