End of May, End of school

The kids had their last day of school yesterday. I remember always being excited that school was out for the summer. I had some weepy girls all afternoon yesterday. They were already missing their friends and their teachers. Two of them have already written letters to their teachers. I have sweet girls. :c)


We'll be doing a lot of fun things this summer. I'm excited to have them home. Hopefully we'll be able to get into a nice summertime routine. I know we'll be spending lots of time at the pool. :c)


Elijah is doing well. He's growing like a weed! He's such a happy little guy, for the most part. :cD


He's becoming quite the thumb-sucker. I guess we'll have to figure out later how to get rid of that habit. For now, it helps him to be able to soothe himself.

There's not much else to report! Everyone is healthy and busy. We're looking forward to a great summer!

No longer sick, just busy

I've been told I need to blog more. ;c) In the three(?!) weeks since my last post, I've been keeping pretty busy. Kirk was in Texas all last week and is leaving in the morning to go to New York City. He'd better not have any fun without me!


The kids are all doing great! Sheri's other top tooth is loose, so she's pretty excited about that. There are 8 more days of school left with 2 of those being early release days. The pool opens on a limited schedule this weekend and then is open full time starting May 31st. It's almost summer! We've had lots of rain lately, so you can be sure it's still spring, but summer is on its way. Before I know it, it will be blueberry picking time. Yum!

There was a Spring Carnival at the primary school on Saturday. I have to admit I thought it would be a *lot* more crazy than it was. We all had a lot of fun. I took a lot of pictures, so you'll have to go by the smugmug gallery to see them all. The kids loved everything, but especially enjoyed riding the mechanical bull and going through the huge, inflated/bouncy obstacle course. There were also pony rides, hot dogs, bbq sandwiches, snowcones, games... it was really nice.


Elijah is 5 months old today! I will make a separate post(probably tomorrow, it's getting late) to talk about him and share some recent pictures. It seems like he was born, I blinked and then he's 5 months old.
