Updates Updates Updates

Excitement is in the air around here! Two more days of school, and today is the annual all day kickball tourney, so it's really only one day of school.  It just doesn't feel like the end of the school year, and I'm blaming the weather.  It's been a rainy and cold spring, and it just doesn't feel like summer is around the corner. Hopefully the warm weather is coming.....I feel like I say that All.The.Time.  It's actually supposed to rain all day today (again), so hopefully the school has a Plan B if they  kids can't get outside for kickball.

Below are some pictures from the last couple of weeks. Some are phone pics, so not that great, but want to share what the kids have been up to. Fingers crossed that beach and pool pictures are in the near future!

Abby had her annual figure skating banquet on Sunday morning.  It's a brunch for all the club members.  They receive certificates for tests pasted throughout the year, and there is a slide show of pictures.  It's a nice brunch, and it's a great group of girls and families. Here are two pictures before we left, and a group shot of the girls in the club.



 Lots of baseball on the driveway and in the yard for us lately.  The weather has been so iffy Griff has only had a couple of games this season.  He and Mike get outside every chance they get to practice.

 This picture is so Griff.....he's quite the ham.....and he does think he's awesome :-)
 Hannah has claimed ownership of my other camera and has turned into quite the shutter-bug. One of these days I'll post some pictures she has taken.
 More of Griff, hamming it up.

 Hannah is losing teeth left and right. Can you see the gaps in her mouth?? She almost looks homeless ;-)
 The three kiddos....
This is a constant morning look for Griff (and Hannah, too)....a chocolate covered mug due to the chocolate chip waffles they eat most mornings.
Griff had a chance to ride the firetruck to school with some friends.  It's an awesome way to pull up to the school!
 Abby went to a Young Author's Conference at Bethel University with some other 4th graders.  This is one of her very good friends Emily.  I tagged along because I was a bit nervous about her navigating her way around a college campus, but she did great and it was really well organized.  It was an all day conference that included various breakout sessions facilitated by young adult authors. Abby really enjoyed it.
 The group of 4th graders that went to the conference.

That's all for now.  Will post a last day of school picture tomorrow!!!
