| Caleb was thrilled to earn his Perfect Attendance backpack. |
 |
| This is a 2nd for Lauren. I don't know what we'll do with 3 next year! |
 |
| Lauren gave Mr. Rhine his teacher appreciation gift. We were so very lucky to have such a wonderful teacher this year. His enthusiasm for teaching is 2nd to none! I'm not just saying that because I taught with his wife ;) |
 |
| Mrs. Hughes was a little tough to figure out at the beginning of the year, but once we got on the same page, the rest of the year was smooth sailing. |
 |
| Aw, Mrs. Hawkins! We knew we would love her because Elizabeth told me we would. She is just a gem and I can't wait til Abby gets her in a few years. |
 |
| On the last day of school, the kids had early dismissal so we made a few signs to kick off summer break. |
 |
| Officially 4th and 2nd graders! |
 |
| Abby decided on Thursday that she wanted her ears pierced right away. She obsessed about it until we took her on Saturday. She didn't even cry! |
 |
| Time to put my gardening pins in Pinterest to good use. This is my starter garden. I hope Stephen has time to make some bigger flower beds soon. I planted squash, zucchini, tomoatoes, and bell pepper seeds in addition to the basil and rosemary. Wish me luck, I need it! |
 |
| And we found fruit trees on sale at Lowe's for $10! So we got an apple tree. I had one when I was a kid and I hope to carry on the tradition of homemade apple pies from our own tree. |
 |
| Look at this boy. I wish I could tell a story about how his sisters dressed him this way and he hated it, but I can't. He loved the attention he got. Admit it, he's cute! |
