Our Pre-K Graduate

Two graduates in one year...oh, my!  :)  Veronica graduated from pre-k last Wednesday, May 23, 2012.  This little gal is so very excited to begin kindergarten in the fall.  As much as I will miss having her with me, she is very ready.  She is so smart and so social.  She will do an amazing job in kindergarten.  There is no doubt.

At pick-up, all the students walked out in a line with their graduation caps on and diplomas in hand.  They were going to have music playing; but, the cd player would not cooperate.  It was precious to see their faces light up when their names were announced.  They each were given a book as a graduation gift from their teachers.  It was all way too cute.  I had to get after one of the teachers though when she told me to hang onto her cap because we would need it again soon.  I covered my ears and said "Na, na, na, I am not listening."    :)  She is just in shock as she is in the middle of helping plan her son's wedding.  I hope these years do not pass that quickly!!!!

Congratulations, Veronica!!!!

What did you wake up to this morning?

As soon as Sydney knew we were awake, I heard..."Can we move the chrysalis to the box?"  I was not even out of bed, nor had I had a cup of coffee.   The last thing on my mind at 6:50 a.m. was the thought of moving the chrysalis.  LOL!  I would post a picture of Sydney's little pet; but, it is quite difficult to see.  Maybe, I will get one when we finally do move it...13 hours after the request was made.  I will, also, need to remember to fill you in on how we got our latest addition.  Good times!

Our Little Ballerina

Her dance teacher handed out medals today.  She even wrote a note saying, "Veronica has done an outstanding job in class this year!  She has great balance and coordination and is a leader in the class.  Keep up the good work!"  Her teacher, Miss Stephanie, even marked that she recommends Veronica for ANY of the classes/mini competition except the younger combo classes.  Great job, Little Dancer!!!!

"I Graduated from Preschool"



We are so proud of all that this little man has learned over the year.  He certainly showed his teacher that he was not just there to play!!!!  (She did not feel that he was ready to be in preschool after spending only two hours with him on the first day.  She suggested that he just come to school to play.  We told her that he needed to be challenged just like the other children.) 



Brothers

I love this picture of Max holding Emerson and looking at our pictures from our trip to China.  I think it is so sweet!

Just too cute

Mother's Day

I had a wonderful Mother's Day; but, how could I not?  After all, I am blessed with a wonderful hubby and four beautiful children.  They gave me many terrific gifts...flowers, a gift card to the spa (gotta get my hair done!), chocolate, a hand print butterfly magnet from Emerson, beautiful cards and a great letter from Max.  (Max- I love the letter even if you were forced to fill in the blank instead of writing exactly what you wanted.  It is perfect because it is from you!)  They even took me out for breakfast in the morning.  Yummy!!!!  The chocolate was Sydney's idea.  She was so concerned about getting me a gift.  Ron HAD to take her shopping.  She and Veronica had looked through a catalog hoping to order me some pj's, but realized it was going to be too expensive for them.  I think that is just too precious. Thank you to my loving family for making Mother's Day so special for me.  I love you all so very much and I feel blessed to be your wife and mom/mommy.
