Preschool!

Editors note, January 8, 2013: The past four months have blown by in a whirlwind of wonderful activities, adventures, friends, family, holidays, and the day to day moments that make our life so full.  While I have taken perhaps too many photos of these happenings, I have yet to add any of these beautiful moments to our blog...in quite some time.  So, I'm finally sitting down to what feels like an overwhelming collection of photos, and highlighting a few that capture the magical moments that have unfolded for our family over the past few months.

Preschool!


It's hard to believe our little boy started school this week!  This momentous step brought with it mixed emotions of joy and a tinge of sadness as our little boy ventured into the new and exciting world of preschool.  We feel so fortunate to have discovered the incredible Sandy Hill Nursery school, located in Solana Beach.  Set in a magical, outdoor setting, this play-based parent cooperative school is the perfect, loving environment from which Harrison can learn, grow and blossom.

The first day was full of anticipation as Harrison cautiously checked out the new environment, new little friends and his sweet teacher, Ms. Susi.  I was excited to be one of the parent volunteers that first day, so Harrison and I both were able to sink into the school at our pace.  Within the first twenty minutes, Harrison found himself happily playing with trucks in the sand, painting outdoors, and making a very cool set of binoculars.




And a few more photos from the first few weeks of school:
