Art Show


Bryce poses by some of his artwork.


Bryce's name practice displayed at the Art Show.

On Friday we attended the annual Art Show at Bryce's preschool. Many of you have heard me wax poetic about his preschool, especially his teachers, but this event really brings it home. The teachers and parents spent all of last week transforming the school building into a "gallery" where the students' art from throughout the year is displayed. Families are invited to come for the "gallery opening" and silent auction. It's truly amazing how much effort goes into the show! As a teacher myself, I can tell you that it is a hugely ambitious project. We had a great time, and really got a sense of the progression Bryce's work has made this year. He's not a huge fan of arts & crafts, as they usually involve sitting still for more than 30 seconds at a time, but he's come a long way this year. We're very proud of him!

Other than that, the weekend and beginning of this week have been comprised of PACKING. We tackled the garage on Saturday, and are now working hard on the inside of the house. Not fun, but necessary. The sale of the house is cruising right along...the inspection and appraisal are done, and now we should be setting up a closing. It's hard to believe that we'll soon be out of this house, since it's been really our only home in New Mexico.

We'll keep you all updated as we head out! Have a great week!

Why does Bryce only have a half smile at the Art Show?! (Standing in one place more than 30 seconds...?) Heheh. Looks like it was a lot of fun though. Good luck with the ongoing packing...I do not envy you! Talk to you guys later.
