Little Boys + W VA = Good Time

West Virginia may possibly be the little boy promised land.

They have creeks with big rocks…fun to climb and fall into if you are Ezra.

 You can pan for "gold" under the bridge near the mill

 They have cabins in the woods,

perched on steep cliffsides
                                     
over rushing streams.

And they have real coal mines you can ride a little man-trip train and go inside!

That's hard to beat.

A Graduate in the Family

Eli graduated from preschool tonight. He was so proud of himself and we were pretty proud of him too!

He did an awesome job singing and dancing to "Banana Phone."

Then he was awarded the well-deserved "Most Inventive" superlative.

And here he is with his mortarboard and diploma ready to enjoy a celebratory Chick-fil-a dinner and play session.

                                                       

While it doesn't exactly feel like the blink of an eye, it is still astounding that kindergarten is just around the corner for him. What changes!
