Happy last day of school!  These girls are saying goodbye to kindergarten and 2nd grade!

Dancing Girls!

The girls both had their dance recitals this weekend.  They worked so hard in dance this year and really made a lot of progress!  Reagan took ballet/tap combination and performed a tap routine and Hannah took ballet and modern dance.  They are super excited about dancing again next year!








Opening day at the pool!

Ben's Birthday

Sweet little guy turned 3 a couple weeks ago!  Can't believe my little baby is getting so big.  He was SO excited about his birthday this year.  All he asked for was a "big crane" and a big crane he got!  We ate Mexican (of course) on his birthday and then had a little backyard party for him with his neighborhood buddies and a bounce house.  This little boy thought turning 3 was pretty awesome!








Down on the Farm....Again!

I so want to be a farm girl.  My happiest dream would be to have a pretty little house sitting on a big piece of land and have all my little barefoot children around me, possibly homeschooling, sending the kids out to feed the chickens and collect the eggs, riding our horses....but alas, we live in a suburbs and for now I will have to be satisfied with a day visit out to the country!  And it is spring time so that means strawberry picking!  We were so happy that daddy got to join us this time as we visited Warbington Farms again.  We picked strawberries, held (and fed!) baby goats, took a "hey" ride and played on the old-fashioned playground equipment.  A pretty perfect day!













Playing Catch Up...

 The end of the school year is SO busy!  We have been enjoying the beautiful Georgia spring and struggling through the last few weeks of school.  Can't wait for summer time!  Here are a few pictures from spring!
 Ben had his first visit to the dentist.  He was such a big boy!
 Lots of mud to play in!

 Hannah lost her 8th tooth!
 Ben and I joined Reagan on her kindergarten field trip to Cagle's Farm

This happened last week! Sweet girl was so excited to lose her first tooth.  She pulled it herself when she came home from school and it was just dangling there!

Family Fundraising for Eli

We had a BIG garage sale a couple weekends ago.  It was truly a family effort!  The kids helped tag items, collect money and chat up the customers, Sam ran the sale on Saturday while I was at work and Sam's parents helped with watching Ben and manning the sale so I could get a break once in a while and everyone pitched in to bring all the stuff in and out of the garage numerous times!  The girls made the sweetest signs to hang up to let everyone know why we were having the garage sale.  We really enjoyed sharing our adoption story with the people who stopped by.  We were so fortunate to have so many friends that donated items for us to sell.  We made just over $1000 in 2 days!



Farm Day with Friends!

Recently had a visit to our favorite farm!  Usually we are here for strawberry picking but it's also fun to go see the animals, take a hay ride and play on the awesome old fashioned playground.  Always more fun with friends!

Didn't want to announce until I was completely sure but.... We have a completely potty trained little boy at our house!  Yay for a few months without diapers!
