Andrew hanging out finding Sean on the stage :)

What a great celebration! His teachers really worked hard to make it very special. We loved his school and will miss it! His teachers set up play dates at local parks throughout the summer, so we are excited that we will continue to be able to see a lot of our friends! Everyone is off to different schools next year for Kindergarten, and they are off to a great start! Highly recommend this school...worth every penny! Thank you Sarah, Jody, and Mary for making our first school experience so incredible!

Fun Pictures...

 Isaac crawled into Andrew's bed during naptime...

 Andrew's turn! Good thing she keeps spares in her Mary Poppin's purse ;)
 Sean lost his 2nd tooth!! He pulled it out this time and wrote a note to the Toothfairy asking her to not take it yet, as he wanted to show his dad (in Chicago taking test) and teachers :)
 Mother's Day building project with Nana!

Wish I would've had my camera at the farm! The kids were so cute out there! Next time!


May 15th?! Where has the time gone?!

I just happened to check my blog today to find it has been a long time since I have last written...life has been busy :)

But busy doing what? Hmmm...

1. Sean has only 3 more days of Preschool :( I can't believe how fast this year went by! He loves it, and I love his teachers. It is going to be hard to say "Goodbye!"
2. He is also taking skating lessons, and he has his last one tomorrow night! He has really taken off with it. Graham has made it his mission to get him out practicing between lessons, so it has been good for both of them!
3. Andrew's head is healing very well, there is only a little line to remind us of that terrible night!
4. He loves to ride his trike and scooter! He has such determination...he works on things until he can do it right.
5. He really enjoys putting puzzles together, too :) He is a sweet little snuggler!
6. Isaac loves life! He climbs, rides his trike and scooter, climbs, jumps, climbs...You get the picture!
7. He loves snuggling, too. He can still be found in Andrew's bed snuggled in for the night...Precious!
8. I still watch a friend's kids a few days a week, and that has been fun! Sean loves the playmates and the twins love all the attention!
9. We go to the park just about everyday. This is where they can get their "climbing" in and play in the sand. We have met some friends there, too.
10. We are keeping a close watch on the neighborhood pool...it is supposed to open Memorial Day Weekend but by the looks of things it will not be ready :(
11. My parents' pool is looking amazing! All my dad has to do now it turn on the heat! He has lots of grandkids itching to be the first to jump in :)
12. Mother's Day Weekend was great, as we were able to spend time with both our moms. My sister had a birthday party for her boys, too, so it was an exciting day!
13. Graham starts his next rotation Monday, so we won't be seeing much of him after that...huge test coming up in July, too...He is doing great and always makes time for us. We really focus on quality vs. quantity, as sometimes there isn't enough minutes in the day.
14. I just spend my days trying to keep up with my kids, and I wouldn't change it for the world! The laundry and cleaning is put on the back burner and done when all the little people are asleep for the night.

Until next time...Hope you are having a wonderful day! Happy Mother's Day!
