William

William,

Mom and Dad received an e-mail from your first grade teacher this past weekend.  This is what she had to say about you:

Hi Mr. and Mrs. Stage!

I just wanted to send a quick email to say how lucky I am to have William in class. He is such a sweet and caring boy. Our class has really been struggling to make good choices, be active listeners, and follow directions but William has been one of few that consistently does the right thing. He sets such great examples for his peers and is very reliable and responsible. I just thought I would share that he makes my day a little brighter!!

Have a great weekend!!


Way to go Little Guy!  We're so proud of you for making good choices at school.

When I asked you why you don't act this way at home, you responded with, "I like to take the weekends off.".  Silly!

 

Christmas Day 2011

Please let there be a 3DS in here!

YES!  A 3DS and a game!

Happy Campers

I made this for you at school.

I made this at school, too!

All the beautiful handmade gifts and cards from William and Claudia....

Off to church...

Finally... I picture with Mom!

William and Claudia,

I really have to apologize.  I have totally slacked off with this blog.  I wish I had made more of an effort to download photos to the computer and keep this blog updated.  Not only have I neglected the photos, but writing as well.  I originally thought that once you went to school full time, I would have more time to write, but the complete opposite has happened!  I'm always busy with something else... school, sports, the house. 

I just wanted to let you know that I am going to start writing again.  Even if it's a few sentences each week.  You two do so many wonderful (and funny) things. I, as well as you,  want to remember these things years from now.

Love you both,

Mom

"You go first Claudia!"
No. You go first William!"

"Santa, I want a Nintendo 3DS for Christmas."
"Santa, I want a Barbie Townhouse.  No.  I want a Nintendo 3DS too, just like William".
