Zach's first day of kindergarten

Took the day off to celebrate Zach's last day of summer before kindergarten...went to Sculpture Garden, Noodles and the beach with Molly, Grammy, Mommy and Zach. Zach is now a kinder in Ms. Oberle's class at Highlands Elementary.
I found the footprints sheet that Zach made in his first day at daycare when he is 12 weeks...seems like yesterday!
Then on Friday, he got to ride the bus home. It was the highlight of his week

Grammy is town!!

We were to lucky to get Grammy to visit for 5 days!! It was a a great time!! We went to apple orchard, farmers market, Minnesota zoo, sculpture garden, beach...and for Zach's first day of kindergarten! Loved it!!!

Zach's good friend Hannah is also in Ms Oberle's class at Edina Highlands.

Our Shelly...Zach's last day

Shelly has been a part of our lives since Zach started going to her house when in August 2008. Molly has been there since she was 12 weeks old. She is wonderful and Zach will miss her!!
