this has truly seemed like the l o n g e s t school year in history! with all the snow days/make-up days...we didn't think the last day would ever come!
...but it finally did!
i think we were all just a little excited!
i am so proud of both Alex's and Emily's accomplishments this year! they've grown so much right in front of my eyes...in shoe size and maturity! it sure makes for a proud momma...especially since i can't take all the credit for who they are becoming. with so many changes this school year--taking a back seat most of the time to a new baby, to elizabeth's toddler demands, and adjusting to all the chaos of a major house remodel...they've proven that they can handle it all and come out on top!

| be back next year--my 5th and 6th grader! {gulp!} |
these two have also grown up during the year! abby's not so much a baby any more...a bittersweet time! she had a great one-year checkup {13 months} weighing in just over 18 pounds! she's growing well, and just needs some motivation to begin crawling, pulling up and onto walking! she's getting stronger each day...

| elizabeth is a great big sis...never far from abby! |

| happy just to be sitting on the floor surrounded by her sibs! |
so happy for longer summer days and nights! we started off the summer with a visit to grandma's house! we don't get to visit as much as we would like...but when we do, the kids are always spoiled!
emily spent the first weekend of summer with grandma--manicure/pedicure, new shoes and eating out!
alex and i had a fun date shoe shopping too {fun for me, not for him! he finally let me take him to buy new crocs...since he has worn the same pair of shoes every day since the first day of school!} dinner {chile's} and a movie {godzilla}

summer sure goes fast! we are looking forward to no homework, no schedules, late nights, lazy mornings and spending lots of time together making memories!
