Graduate

Our baby girl graduated preschool in June and we were so proud. We both cried and she was radiant. I really could stare at her all day long. She was so proud of herself! Last week she really took off with reading. She can read all on her own and we just started Dick and Jane books. She is so excited and tells everyone she knows. She cannot wait for school to start this year. She gets the biggest smile on her face and says, "Mom YOU are my teacher!"

12-2

Judah had such a great season this year!  He is getting better every year. He is so much fun to watch, and pitched like a champ! They won 12 games and lost only two. They came in second place and he was very excited to get the large trophy. The best part about the season was that the boys were great and got along so well. They improved SO much and really became a team! He is playing on the all star team now and just won his first game 19-0. I never knew I could love sports so much!

Better Than Fireworks?

Tonight the four of us were reading an audio book together. We noticed some intense flashing outside. We turned off all the lights, ran into our bedroom and piled on the bed to watch. Every second (literally) lightening was lighting up the sky. It was amazing! After watching for over 30 minutes, we finally had to carry the kids to bed. It is now an hour later and it is still going on. I have never seen anything like it. It was like tree branches across the sky, lighting up the clouds that were darkened by the night. Stella asked if we could do this every time there was a storm, I said, "yes", she said, "thanks mom." We all agreed it was better than fireworks.
