School's Out for Summer!

The boys just finished school for this past week. It went by fast...I can see how once your kids are in school, time just flies.

Well, we had a great year. The boys did great in school and we loved their teachers. I'm really excited for Summer and to have all the kids home all day, but there was still a bit of sadness on their last day of school. I decided that when you are sad to not have a teacher anymore...then they must be pretty darn good! When your kids are in school, especially all day, it's a long day that they aren't with you. There's a comfort for a mom when you know their teacher genuinely loves and cares for them. I definitely had that comfort in the boys' teachers. We're going to miss them!

The boys on their last day getting on the bus. Could we be so lucky to have a school bus stop at our front door next year?! We'll see...

Nate with Mrs. Mitchell. Mrs. Mitchell did a great job capturing memories. We got a big binder of kindergarten memories from her at the end of the year.

Mac and Mrs. DiRocco. Mrs. DiRocco was Mac's literacy teacher in kindergarten and then his 1st grade teacher this year...and Mac loves reading! She did a great job of making learning fun.

Our first morning of break...the excitement even went to Elly! She was following right behind Mac. It was funny at first, but then a little annoying for Mac. Get used to it buddy! :)

Nate took Elly right outside to teach her some baseball. Getting her early!

Keep your eye on it Elly! Nate's coaching is very sweet and encouraging to his sister.

This girl's up for anything! She's going to have so much fun with her brothers this Summer! Between Mac's imagination and Nate's sportiness...she's got a bit to choose from!

This is what Mac did when I asked him if he was excited for Summer. Just a little bit of character in this boy! He was up there directing the baseball that Nate and Elly were playing. It was quite hilarious to watch.

Be looking for posts of Summer fun!

Happy Birthday Elly!

I can't believe my baby girl is 3! She is full of spunk (has no problem telling her brothers how she feels), yet is full of sweetness. When Nate got hurt recently, she had her little arm around his back. She likes to snuggle with whoever is near. She's got some wit! She was swinging on her rope swing that she loves, looked over at us and exclaimed..."A little help here...I'm stuck!" She can quickly bring a smile to your face. Happy birthday Elly!
