Lucy: now that she's finished reading all the Harry Potter books she's not quite sure what to do with herself.  No other book has sparked her interest.  She usually moves from one book to the next but I can understand how that book would hang on to her a bit.  She's taken to coming home from school and immediately getting on the computer to work on her own Harry Potter novel which takes place 30 years later.  She won't let me read it yet, but she's about 50 pages in.  I'm proud of her efforts to work at something she loves.  

Max: had a zoo trip with his class this week and we all got to go.  He was paired up with his two best grade 3 buddies (Deakon and Taylor).  Neither of these two will be at the new school with Max and I can sense some anxst in him as these last few days of school wind down.  I know he has other friends at the new school (Tobin), but not having Taylor is going to be tough.  I'm so proud of those two for the genuine friendship they have.  

Logan: finished school this week.  We celebrated with a graduation day, a trip to Mitford Pond and skipping school to go to the zoo with Max.  Logan is the oldest kid in his class and as we've approached the end of the year it's become more noticeable.  He's taller, and  more mature than most of the other kids.  He's losing a bunch of friends in the transition to a new school but I hope he's able to appreciate being ahead of the class as he begins grade 1.  His reading has come a long way this year.  I can't believe he will be starting full days in the fall! He was my baby and it's definitely not that way anymore.  

Seth: is all about horses these days.  As we drive to the farm we pass a number of acreages that have horses and no one in the vehicle can carry on a conversation because he's yelling 'horse!!!' So loud.  He enjoys riding on his own horse at home as much as he can...and here he's sharing his Cheerios with him.
