5 years, 3 months & 3 years

Happy Birthday to John!

We had to get up a little early today and Keillor was not in the mood for photos.

New lightsaber from Mateo and Dominique.






John transitions to the Primary classroom starting today. So instead of being the oldest, he'll now be the youngest in a classroom of 3 to 5-year olds. He is extremely excited for a couple reasons: His friend, Alejo, is already in that classroom and the Primary playground has "bikes" and more exciting outdoor equipment.

Both Mom and Dad continue to say that we're growing up too fast. Case in point: A conversation at church yesterday:

Tess: Is Jesus dead?
Dad: Yes. Well, no. Yes and no. He died and then came back to life and now he lives with God.
Tess: Where?
Dad: In heaven, wait... uhh...well, they're not on earth.
Tess: Oh! So they're on a different planet.
Dad: Not really, it's just that Jesus is all around us.
Tess: And he's even in my heart.
