As promised, here are some pictures of the After School Enrichment Program put together by the Eagle PTE.
We had a couple of Claire's friends over Saturday to help her celebrate her 7th birthday. We couldn't have asked for better weather! While I celebrate each year with my children and look forward to the years to come I can't help but to feel a little sad at the years that are gone. Who knew they would go so fast! If only time would slow down, if just for a little bit.
Lots of Firsts!
