Baseball Wrap Up

Wow!  June is flying by....sit tight because I have some blogging catching-up to do :)  I have several more posts in the making.

Luke played his last baseball game of the season this month. It was a beautiful day and Mark made it for the last game!  Luke got to pitch some baseballs and play first base.  He was so happy!

First Day...Last Day

It is difficult for me to believe that the school year has come and gone.  Luke and Grace have learned and grown so much this past school year.  The year has flown by.  I couldn't have asked for better teachers for both of the kids.  We were all really blessed. While I was reading Luke's amazing report card, I cried.  I was so proud of what he accomplished!  I looked at the section that said "Reading" and the remark was "At Level".  I was so proud of Grace too.  Her concern for others, listening skills and cooperation were all top marks.

So on our last day of school we embark on summer vacation and happy adventures, before it is once again time to have another first day of school.  Happy Summer!

Just Because....

My birthday present finally arrived in the mail this week...a new lens for my Nikon SLR.  I was so excited to finally put a quality lens on my camera and see what the difference in pictures would be. 

 My favorite subjects to take pictures of are of course my little family!  I LOVE, LOVE this one of Luke in the grass. 

 Miss B has a mind of her own and that holds true to playground equipment!  We took our first entire family bike ride to the kids school playground to play.  It was so much fun!

 Grace is my monkey bar queen!  She rocks the money bars, flipping and skipping and all things monkey bars.

 Bella's favorite game is to yell..."get me dada" and she takes off running....

And there he is...my best friend, whom I miss terribly when he is traveling.  I miss seeing him, talking with him, dating him, just being around him.  Sigh...I love him.alot.
