First Day of Distance Learning

We may be starting with Distance Learning but we still have to take a first-day-of-school photo!!

I remember what a milestone it was for Janie to start Kindergarten. Take a look at a comparison to her first day of K photo!! Both have the same cheesy excited smile. So cute.

After the photos, we all went back inside and hopped on their first Zoom class. Ms. Wells looks so nice and Peanut seemed to follow along just fine.

He made a First Day of Kindergarten crown and name tag just like Janie did!

Here he is wearing his gearn with the rest of the class.

This was Ms. Wells reading the class a story about Chester, their class mascot.

Here is Janie in her first class with Ms. Suzuki. She is an older and more experienced teacher with lots of rules and instructions. 3rd grade is a big jump from 2nd grade! What’s nice is that Janie’s old classmates from Ms. Bliss’ class are all back together again!

Today, it was Janie’s turn to drive by the front of the school to pick up her school supplies. It was a big bag of books, worksheets, and school supplies. We also borrowed a Chromebook for the school year.

She wore a cute dress and fixed her hair because they also did a drive-by school photo. Our baby girl is gonna be a 3rd-grader!!

Preschool Graduation 2020

It’s Peanut’s Graduation Day from preschool. He started as a Honeybee when he was 20 months old and went all the way up to the Pre-Kindergarten class. With the pandemic and shelter-in-place, graduation was modified to a drive-by event. We lined up in our cars and Auntie Eleen decorated their minivan for the occasion.

 

When it was Peanut’s turn, his teachers were there to greet him and presented him with a certificate and tassel.

His buddy Ethan was also right behind us in their car!

Afterward, we met up at the ferry parking lot to take some photos.

Here is Peanut with his buddy Maya. Thanks for the candy lei!!

Congratulations to our Peanut!! Kindergarten, here we come!

Cherry Picking

It’s been 2 months of Shelter-in-Place and the kids hadn’t left Alameda this entire time. We went on a special outing to Brentwood for some cherry picking. The farm we went to took appointments and when we arrived, it was nice and empty. We had rows and rows to ourselves and SO MANY CHERRIES to pick!

The kids had a great time and they were excited to bring home all the cherries for snacking.

This guy couldn’t wait and had his fair share of samples while were were picking.

We brought home 9 pounds of cherries and we were done by 9:30 when it started to rain.

We also stopped at 99 Ranch on the way home and waited in the car while Dada shopped.We had some cherries and also walked to the donut shop next door to pick up some treats.

Peanut fell asleep with the donut in his hand on our drive home.
