TWENTY!!

Stephenie is no longer a "teen". Twenty years old... how is it possible that I have a 20 year old?
Unfortunately, Steph wasn't feeling too great on and around her birthday, so she didn't want to spread germs by blowing out her candles. She decided to give Alex a chance to practice since his birthday is exactly 2 weeks after hers...
I'd say by this intense look on his face that he is quite ready to blow out his 5 candles on June 28. Love this picture!

Preschool Graduation

Alex Lilly, Preschool Graduate
The students performed some of their poems and songs they learned throughout the year.
Miss Tami presented each child with a special award, Alex was deemed "most creative" because he always had very imaginative ideas to add to their curriculum.
My heart aches just a wee bit at the thought of preschool being over, and the safe and cozy feeling of it all. (I'm sure I'll be saying the same thing in a year as Kindergarten is ending.) Alex loved preschool so much and learned a ton. He is very excited about going to Kindergarten. Our goal for the summer is to work on his handwriting, because his Kindergarten teacher may not be quite as understanding as Miss Tami was when Alex would tell her he couldn't finish his work, because his "hand was tired"  :)    Here's to hoping for a fantastic and fun filled summer!
