What a BIG 2 days!

May 24 is the day L girl "graduated" from Preschool!  The ceremony was precious and she LOVED crossing the stage.  SO success for all.  She met all the preschool standards and is officially ready for Kindergarten.  She is so excited to ride the bus to her new school in just 3 short months!!!

4-year old teacher! 

Congratulations L

Today we woke up to a sunny morning for our very BIG recital.  L was hesitant and not sure she wanted to actually go up on stage.  We did her hair and make up just in case she changed her mind and decided to go up on stage.  By the time we ate and actually left the house, there was no stopping her from going up there to perform her big dance!  We ordered the DVD which will be here in about one month.

Uncle Steve gets BEST GODFATHER of the year award for taking a day off of work, renting a car, driving down from NJ, buying a shirt and tie to match L's costume, buying her the biggest bouquet of all and spending the whole weekend adoring our precious girl.

After the elegant and beautiful recital; Uncle Steve fixed my lawn mower,  cemented the Arbor in place, built a fire, sawed wood, and drank M's beer!  Thanks M, he said it was good.

All the veggies are growing

L girl got ahold of the camera for the next several pics.  We call this "as seen by the 5-year old"

It has been a crazy and busy weekend with love felt all around.  We could not have made it such a joyful weekend without Steve and Ashley joining us!  Thank you for bringing love, support and more love into our lives.  We are blessed by every moment we share with you!
