Yesterday was a great day in the Smith house. James read his very first chapter book (48 pages) and Piper went to her first solo dance class.
James read High Rise Private Eyes: The Case of the Missing Monkey. There were a few words that he came across that he had a little trouble with but he worked through them and is really reading like a champ.
Piper went to her first ballet/tap combo class. She was adorable. She focused and listened to the teacher and tried really hard to do everything she was asked. She likes her tap shoes but she LOVES her ballet flat.
They are really growing up fast - remind me again how that happened.

James is a 1st Grader
Here's our big 1st Grader!
It is harder for me to wrap my head around having a 1st grader than it was to have a kindergartner - it just seems to official to write a number in "grade level" instead of a letter. He has come such a long way from the little guy we sent off last year. Here he is with all the other little munchkins in his class - our neighbors Jimmy, Eaven, and Jasmine are in his class too.
Here's hoping its a good year & lots of learning and growth happen in this class.

Daddy's Birthday - August 29
Happy Birthday Daddy....
We went to the Harbor beach and jumped off the bridge, paddled out with surfboards, rowed in little boats...sorry we only have 2 picture - we were having a blast...
We went out to dinner and had a great time trying new things like a 50/50 burger (50% ground beef & 50% ground BACON) and for dessert we had a Bacon Brownie and it was fabulous!
Boy...we have some cute kids.
Happy Birthday Daddy! We love you!

Piper's 1st Haircut
Piper is now a little over 3-year old and the only scissors that have ever been used on her hair were used to remove a mechanical car that had gotten too close. So, we had decided we would get her hair cut - then Tangled came out and she thought her hair would change color and not grow if she got it cut. It took some talks from me and mostly the example of a sweet little girl that she looks up to to convince her that her hair would stay the same.
So, she agreed and we made the appointment...
Before...
She was very good and sat still to have her hair cut and was very nice to the hair stylist
What a difference just a few snips of the scissors make...
After...
She's so cute...but I could be biased.
