Sofia's Kindergarten Graduation! WOW!

Grandma and Grandpa came to see Sofia's program tonight.....and to wish her a happy graduation!

Sofia and her boy friends....Leo, True, and Jace.  Rumor has it that they all have had a big crush on Sofia all year long.  Jace's mom told me that Jace told her a funny story...."I think Sofia likes me the best because Geo scratched her and she didn't like that....True tried to kiss her and she didn't like that.....so I'm not going to do anything and see if she likes that!"  So cute!

Sweet friends.....Theo and Sofia

Martin has been teaching Spanish to the kids of Montessori Central  for about 4 years now.  This year he added in some African drumming for the Kindergartners!  They got to show their stuff at their graduation tonight!  It was absolutely fantastic!  Way to go, babe!

Sofia and her "besties"...Estelle, Theo and Jillian

Martin with some of the drummers from tonight's show....don't they look great?!?

I love ya, Barbara Medina!  Thank you for the past 7 years!

Dawn Pipella has been a teacher and a friend to me and my family for the past 7 years.....she will be missed.  We appreciate you so much!  Thank you for your kindness and your beautiful nature that you have shared with our girls for all these years!

We say goodbye to Montessori Central this week......  Friday will be our last day of bringing one of our girls to this school.  We started bringing Audriana in September of 2005...just a few weeks before Sofia was born!  Audriana was 2 (almost 3) and we felt that with the new baby coming that it would be good for her to socialize and have fun at school.  We had no idea that 7 years later we would still be there!  It's been such an amazing experience for us -- both of the girls have received a gift of early learning that will propel them forward with a love of learning for the rest of their lives.  Both girls were reading, doing math, geography, and science in Kindergarten!  The Montessori learning environment was a perfect match for both girls and one that we embraced as a family.  Thank you to Dawn Pipella and Barbara Medina, who have been there from the beginning with our girls.  We will miss seeing you every day.......
