What We've Been Up To

We are finding ourselves coming and going these days. It seems like whenever I think I am going to sit down and make a post, the night is gone and I'm ready for bed...not ready to stay up longer. I am going to try very hard to post more since all my kids are now out of school. We have been very busy the last several weeks, attending award ceremonies, ballgames, and school events...you name it, we've been there! I hope you enjoy the pictures. Here we are at one of Caleb's ballgames...









The boys were each awarded a certificate for participating in Accelerated Reading at school this year. Justin made it to the stage since he read over 200 points and Caleb (the overachiever of the family) read over 780 points! He came in 2nd in the school and was only beat out by a 5th grader in the gifted and talented class! The cut off for AR was a couple of weeks ago, but Caleb was bound and determined to meet his personal goal of 800 points by the end of the year....and that he did. He finished with 800.3 points. I asked him what his goal for next year is and he promptly replied...900 points. He really amazes me sometimes!



Of course, the pool is open for business, so the kids have been in the pool everyday this week, even if it has only been for a few minutes before or after all the ball games....











On Friday Justin graduated from Hershey Elementary School. We had a little surprise celebration at home...



Justin and his teacher...



Group project - building a bridge...











Here is a picture of Justin batting...



So with that, I'm going to head off to bed. Tomorrow is a big day for us as we will be celebrating Evan's first birthday with friends and family. As I get older, I realize more each day, how important it is to make memories of all the wonderful milestones that God gives us through our children. I will share pictures soon!
