The End

That time of year has come again, when we end all those fun 'school time' activities. I have tried to take advantage of having one less child with me during the day, so that I don't feel like the crazy parent that is constantly counting heads!! Our activites have varied from library story time to swimming lessons (they seem to be dependent on times and Sam's humor for the day:)!). I got brave this year and did a co-op preschool for Abbi. It actually turned out to be wonderful and she had a great time. I will miss having Abbi home, as she is off to Kindergarten this fall....it has been fun seeing her grow up this year.

Ballerina's, Ballerina's Everywhere

Abbi finished her dance class with a recital. Jared and I were a little worried that she might decide not to dance once she saw all the people....but she danced beautifully. It was exciting to see our little girl enjoying flittering around the stage. She is currently aspiring to be a ballerina teacher when she grows up!!

Birthday Dad!

We recently celebrated Jared's birthday....in true kid style! Sam got sick earlier in the afternoon, so our grand plans had to be altered a bit. So....Jared got a cake that was barely standing (only by the grace of frosting), the happy birthday song about 10 times (Sam loves to sing the same song over and over), birthday gifts revealed before they were opened, and of course sharing cake and ice cream with a child that had emptied all stomach contents about three hours prior! HAPPY BIRTHDAY DAD!
