Wrapping up May!

Here we are, at the end of the school year already! Whew. What a year it has been. With me working three days a week, it went faster than any other year has gone. It's hard to believe I will have a 2nd grader and a Kindergartner this fall!!! I was thankful to be able to wrap things up this month and have a little time with both of you before our lives really do change with Caleb's birth. The 1st graders always put on a musical play at the end of the year. You were goldilocks, Caitlyn, and did SUCH a great job!!! Here you are with Momma and Papa Bear...the whole play centered around finding baby bear.

Some of the audience.............

Mimi lovingly made your dress. What would we do without her handiwork!!!

Here are some pictures of the "flood" Nashville went through the first weekend in May. This is the street at our driveway. We have NEVER seen the little creek get this high.

This was up the road aways. The rain caused a mudslide to occur. Our road was closed for several weeks, until workers could get to it and clean it up.

We wrapped up t-ball, too. WHAT a fun activity this was for all of us. We LOVED coming out to your games, Caroline. It was amazing to see how much you learned in just three months. Warming up and ready to hit..............

Waiting for the ball............

A great swing................

Caitlyn, you LOVED the ring pops....a treat each week, for sure. You and the other siblings liked cheering for your sisters!!

Getting ready to run...........

Team pile up! Mr. Jeremy and "Miss" Emily Stephens were the best and most encouraging coaches!!!

We also tearfully said goodbye to Otter Creek Preschool. Between the two of you, we have been there now for 6 years. Hard to believe!!! What a blessed place it has been for all of us. Here you are saying your memory verses for the year. I love your face in this picture, girl!

Dear "Miss" Amanda....what a precious teacher she has been to you (and to mommy!). Thank you, Otter, for the memories and lessons learned. On to LES and Kindergarten, Caroline!!!! You will love it, babe.

We decided to plant a garden again...such a favorite springtime activity. We went to the Farmer's Market and picked out our plants, then had to wait for a sunny day to plant them. It sure has been one rainy spring!!!

This year we have cucumbers, tomatoes, cantaloupe, raspberries, green and red peppers, basil, strawberries, and sunflowers. We'll see how it goes.............

This was at Daddy's most recent softball game. We haven't been able to go to as many as normal, due to the busyness of life. This was an early game preceded by a picnic with the Laytons.

The cheerleaders.................

Now...........we are just days away from meeting our sweet baby, Caleb. We also took some precious family photos this month that I will post before introducing the world to our little man. Stay tuned............
