Great Frederick Fair

We had a great time at the Great Frederick Fair with Angela and her Mom on Saturday.  We saw a cow about to give birth, the girls pet a baby cow born that morning, and ten, 5 day old piglets.  They rode the carousel and munched on kettle corn.  Afterwards, Angela showed us around the city town (totally cute), gave us a tour of her church (wowsa! 400+ active members where her father is the senior pastor!) and then we went to her parents for Larry (her dad) burgers! Yum! 

Trip To Michigan

Over labor day and Mommy's birthday we visited Granny, Grammommy, Gramps and Uncle Kirk at the cottage in Michigan.  We had a blast!!!   I can't express enough how much that little cottage has meant to me in my life.  I have such fond memories with my Granny, Grandad, brothers and cousin!  Next summer can't come fast enough for us to return! 

1st Day of School Class Report

Email sent from Mrs MacLeod to all parents.  FYI, Becky is the assistant.  Evelyn and Sylvia were featured in 6 of the 7 pictures she sent.

As Becky said "Today was awesome!" I couldn't agree more. Your children were truly delightful and seemed to be enjoying themselves throughout the morning. They were interacting with each other and having a good time from when we were inside the classroom to the times we were on the playground. When we came together as a group for our first circle time to go over the day's schedule and learn each other's names they were attentive and caught on to the routine right away and also when I read How Do Dinosaurs Go to  School? by Jane Yolen. Of course today was the first day and this was all new and exciting so please if your child seems to change his/her mind about school over the next week or so don't panic they are just realizing that this just isn't a one time event. But we hope to make each day they come to St. Aidan's fun and exciting. 

On Wednesday we will go to our first Chapel at 9:30 and they will be introduced to the "Banjo Man" (Rev. John Baker) who will teach them some wonderful songs and stories. We will also be finger painting that day so please dress your child to get messy. They will be painting their shape/color. Also with this great weather we will be outside just enjoying ourselves.  

As always if you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to email/call me. I am here for you.

Below are some pictures taken today so you might see what we were doing!! 

Take care.
