Last Day of Spring Soccer

Shane starts soccer next week.  And I am sure this little one will give it a go at some point as well. ;)

Another Year in the Books

 *Sigh*

Another year has passed.  Bittersweet.

My 2nd grader and Kindergartner are no longer those. 

 3rd grade and 1st grade here they come!

Last time (possibly ever) of a midday bus stop trip...these two have loved playing in the wooded area right near the place the bus drops Meredith off.

 Last time off the Kinder bus!

Walking home a 1st grader! She looks so old! :(

Yes!  Summer here we come! 

We kicked off our summer with a super fun night at Concert in the Park...pictures to come in a later post. ;)  Here's a sneak peek!

Baseball Pictures

A couple of years ago, we made the decision to not purchase any of the professional photos offered through the kids' schools, sports leagues, dance studios, etc.  I take a gazillion pictures of them, so spending money in that way is just not worth it to us.  We have no shortage of nice pictures of them and their friends/teammates and we save some money in the process.  There are moments when I feel a twinge of regret about this plan...almost as if I am missing out on the "nostalgia" of school pictures and the kids sometimes feel bad about not having a picture envelope full of money to hand the photographer, but ultimately we feel good about the decision we are making.

Caleb's baseball pictures were tonight.  I snapped a few "posed" shots in the front yard before sending him off for his real ones. ;)  Look closely....you can see that one of Caleb's top teeth is finally coming in, after almost 2 years since his accident/surgery!
