Disney trip on the calendar

Mimi and Papa announced at our Mother's day lunch that they are...TAKING US TO DISNEY WORLD!!!  The kids were elated.  They have been asking to go for years.  The last time we went was in October of 2007! The countdown begins...

Bugs everywhere!!

Joshua did a great job with his fourth grade bug collection.  Andy was in charge of helping him with the bug collecting and I helped with poster decorations.  Perfect.  I am so thankful to have scientist for a husband!  And YAY Joshua!!

The last weeks of kindergarten for our baby!

Well, we are entering another new chapter in this fleeting life!  Our darling, youngest is finishing her last year of what I consider pre-school.  I mean, they are really still babies until kindergarten, right?  Here are a few beautiful pictures of the sweetest girl I know!

 Lydie dressed up as Cinderella for a birthday party.  Dear Lord, please do not let her dress-up days be numbered!

 Lydie's class was so darling at the ballet recital.  They were dressed up as rosebuds.

 Here we are together at the Muffins with Mom day.  Oh, I enjoyed it so much.  I cried like a baby.  This little darling truly is such a treasure to me.  I love her encouraging words, cuddles, and attention to detail.  I have never met another person who I have so much in common with.  Two peas on a pod.
