The Polar Express

Here is Sam performing the Polar Express with his entire kindergarten class. There were many Christmas songs and a lovely Chanukah song as well. Well, our first public school December experience and it was tough on the sole Jewish boy in his class and possibly only one out of a handful in the entire 800+ student school. Let's just say that we had a fantastic Chanukah party put on by the Piesman family along with help from Gema and Grandpa, thanks to all for making Sam feel less 'left out'.

Tyler the Conductor

One thing that Tyler loves is music, as well as dance and dress-up and putting on a good show. He loves his weekly music class with Mrs. Anita, a wonderfully patient teacher. Here Tyler has been charged with conducting a bunch of 3 year olds, rowdy bunch for sure, but he appears to have command of the musicians. Go Tyler!

Two Very Different Boys

Well, this week, they were at least, most of the time, they enjoy the same pursuits. Here is Tyler in the aisle at Target enjoying some gun range time and here is Sam painting a masterpiece. Cowboy and Artist!

Brotherly Love

This is from the Thanksgiving 1/4 mile run, but it shows just how much of a true big brother Sam has become. Here you can see him holding his hand and then gently putting his hand on his back leading him to the finish line. I just thought this was too cute. They actually held hands the entire run!

Vegas Baby

Long overdue, but here are some pictures from our wonderful trip to Las Vegas to celebrate, yes, Mike's 40th birthday. Wow, looking at the posts it sure does look like we celebrated for an entire month (we did)! We had a great time on our first ever Piesman vacation! Can't wait to do it again.
