We were very entertained during the final OCP performance and graduation ceremony Thursday night. It was a fun evening watching all the little ones and celebrating a wonderful school year!

School's out for summer! Last day of preschool.

Ready for her last day (of her first year) of preschool.

Look how she has grown! This is Sophia on the first day...

Sophia this morning. She is still just as excited about going to school.

I am feeling sentimental this morning with Sophia's last day of preschool and her final performance/graduation at OCP this evening. Sophia has grown so much this year -- I can't believe the difference in our girl from the first day to today.

Many thanks goes out to Sophia's sweet teachers, Ms. Jeanette and Ms. Sabrina, for giving our girl a wonderful first taste of school. Also, a big thanks to Em, Shannon, Laura and Melissa for driving Sophia and babysitting Henry this year. Em did a wonderful job organizing the troops and creating our carpool/babysitter rotations. With all of our schedules and wee ones it was no easy task!

It has been a wonderfully busy, fun, and exciting school year but we are looking forward to our summer break before starting a new adventure in the fall.

First trip to the dentist...

This girl was so excited for her cleaning!

After talking for about 5 minutes straight about her field trip that day, Sophia listened very carefully to Michelle, the hygienist.

My big girl.

All clean!

10 months with Henry

Henry looks so tough riding his little bike.

Happy 10 months to our Henry! Did I really just type 10 months? Wow! Our little boy is a mover and a shaker and getting these pictures is becoming more and more of a challenge. Henry likes to go, whether he is crawling or in a stroller or in the car. His latest tricks includes saying "Mama", "Dada", and quacking like a duck. Henry is so sweet and he has the greatest little smile and giggle. He always gets compliments on his hair which has really taken off in the past couple of months.Can't believe we will be celebrating his first birthday pretty soon...

Spending time in the country. Check!

Ahh! It's good to be in the country!

Mom's beautiful cactus is in full bloom.

Henry loves to swing!

Sophia spent most of the evening in her house "cooking".

Henry riding the train.

My little loves.

We love spending time in Rhoadesville and on Saturday G and P invited us down for dinner and a relaxing evening on the porch. We look forward to many, many more fun days in the country this summer.

Mother's Day

With my Mom and my babies on Mother's Day.

These girls love reading together.

Henry was dedicated at church. I love how Sophia is taking in every word!

Happy Mother's Day!

Happy Mama

It's good to be a mama....

Happy Mother's Day to all you moms out there! And, to my Mom...thanks for all you do for us! Enjoy your day! We love you --
