Heat Wave...

A glimpse of how we've been spending our 95 degree days this week. 
The kids are having a blast but I'm sure we'll be cringing a bit when the water bill arrives!

Last Day of 6th and 1st Grade!

 
We are officially on summer vacation!
Connor ended his first year of middle school today earning all A's and B's for all four semesters!
He worked very hard this year and we are incredibly proud.
 

Caroline wrapped up her 1st grade year with a perfect report card.  Here's what her teacher had to say:
"I have truly enjoyed having Caroline in my class this year! She has such a pleasant disposition, uses awesome work habits, is cooperative and very enthusiastic!! Her positive attitude and sense of humor have been contagious to others! She has made GREAT progress in all academic areas this year!! I hope that you have a fun & safe summer! Keep reading and practicing those math facts!"
 

 
Awards for a job well done:
 
Congratulations on another fantastic school year.  We couldn't be more proud of you and all you accomplished this year!

That's what makes you beautiful.....


A little video that Caroline made with her friend the other day.  I love it because it totally captures her sweet personality.....and what makes her beautiful to me and everyone that knows her.

Holiday Recap {2012}

 We had such a fun (and busy) holiday season!  Since we had so much going on I wanted to compile the highlights all in one place.
Thanksgiving was spent in Pennsylvania again this year-my kiddos love being with Miss Hadley.
 
Caroline and I kept up our tradition of going to see the Nutcracker Ballet with our friends Mia and Miss Jaclyn. 

Another tradition-this year we invited Caroline's Daisy Troop over for our Gingerbread House Party!


We attended Connor's 6th grade choir concert and enjoyed every minute of it!  These kids worked very hard and put on a very professional performance.  My favorite?  Do Re Mi...I'm a sucker for anything from the Sound of Music ;)

 
 My loves posing for our Christmas Card picture

Chris took me on a date!  We spent the day downtown having a delicious lunch and shopping at some really fun places.

Caroline's letter and sweets for Santa


 Our favorite Christmas Eve activity!  Jammies and Ralphie...Caroline wasn't thrilled with the 24 hour marathon but Chris and I can't stop watching!

A fun treat I made for the kiddos-popcorn and Italian Cream sodas.  

Christmas morning

Here is one happy kid!  XBox 360!
 
Oh my goodness!!!!!  It's and American Girl Doll!  

 
Another happy kid!



The day after Christmas we got LOTS of snow.  Mia and Caroline getting ready to go down the snow hill that daddy built.  


And here is a very accurate depiction of how Connor spent most of his Christmas vacation. 

The kids are back in school and everything is officially "back to normal." 
Here's to a healthy, happy and prosperous 2013!
