Back to School

Soren is now in Grade 2!!!
He is excited to be back at New City Charter School with his same grade 1/2 teacher from last year, Ms Kalli.

We are thrilled that Sevi will be attending his last year of Preschool at Dodge Nature Preschool. This is the sculpture in the front of the building and a popular photo spot. In fact, I have the Same picture of Soren from three years ago.

Here is Sevi's classroom, the great outdoors. He is on the boardwalk that connects the school to the farm. It really is as amazing as it looks.

The dock is a great place for a violin practice!

YMCA Camp Streefland

This is the second year that Soren has attended a YMCA week long day camp with his friend Joey. This year we picked Camp Streefland. We loved the setting and intimacy it provided along with all the activities. When we went to the family night Sevi fell in love too and so we ended up signing both Soren and Sevi up for a week in August.

Signs that show all the different activities.

Soren in the Gaga Pit, his favorite camp activity. Think of it as a form of contained dodge ball.

You can see how excited (and fearless) Sevi was to be going to camp.
