First Day of School





Three years in a row
Yesterday was Kyle's first day of fifth grade. He has three different teachers and seems to like them all. He came home excited and did his homework right away!!! That's a good sign =) We have accomplished a huge feat in our family by staying in one place for three school years in a row! We are so happy Kyle gets to finish out elementary school in the same school he's been for the past two years!!!!

Grace tackles Preschool
Grace had her first day of preschool at a local church here in Chesapeake. I was a little worried because when talking about going to school she kept telling me not to leave her so I was prepared for the worst. But this morning she woke up and was very excited to fill her lunch box with goodies to take to school. Her good friend Benjamin is in her class so that helped ease her into a new environment.

While the Cats away
And so with brother and sister off to school, Bethany had the run of the house!!! Here you can see her enjoying her sister's coveted bicycle!!! She had a blast this morning having the house and mom all to herself!!!

Lori and Darin,
Thank you for the fantastic photos of our darling grandchildren. Nat and I both just browsed and chuckled at the cherub faces with their unique personalities. Keep up the good work on the blog and teach me how to link to your blog. I love you . I see such a blend of you and Darin in Bethany, and Kyle and you are shinning through Gracie. What wonderful gifts have blossomed in your love and the love of Jesus through you. Love Dad Dunham

our blog is called D.R.Dunham Family in Thailand. I can't remember if I mentioned it yet. Any way you are the inspiration for this and we will try and make it a mirror of our family from a different locale and backdrop. THAILAND...! I will call you in a few, as it is your Sunday morning. I will rush this comment off, as a hugh , evening , tropical storm is rolling into Bangkok with all the trimmings...lightning and thunder and soon the rain.
I love you all. Dad

I was scrolling down the page and I thought. How cool you posted an old picture of Darin. Wait a sec.... That's Kyle all grown up! I first met Darin when he was in 4th grade and I was in 5th and he looks just like Darin did. It's startling.
