Tea With Catherine

We usually love to spend our time all together, but sometimes it's very special to get some one-on-one time with our children.  Daddy and I got to spend a very special morning with Catherine at her preschool.  Her class had an adorable tea party for all of the families.  Catherine served us lemonade and all of the tables were decorated and had delicious treats waiting for us.  We loved getting to see Catherine at her school, and the children even performed a special song all by themselves on stage.  What a treat!  We loved getting to see our precious girl shine!

Baseball Boy

Peter loves baseball!  Every spring, it is so fun to get out to the field and watch the boys play.  This year Peter moved up to Farm ball, and boy was that a big step up.  He had to learn to hit off the pitching machine, and the boys worked on real fielding and learning the rules of the game.  Hitting was tough, but with a lot of practice, Peter really got the hang of it, and got some great hits!  He really enjoyed playing first base, but he especially love playing catcher.  Peter loved getting to be on the team with his special buddies, and Lizzy and Catherine got to hang around with their friends playing and hitting up the snack bar.  It was a great season for all of us!

Flowers and a Name

Here's a picture of some pretty flowers that Catherine painted.  But look down at the bottom there......do you see it?  It says "Catherine!"  Catherine wrote her name all by herself (I helped her remember the order of the letters), and she even added her favorite letter, that tiny "o", just to make it extra special.  Great writing, Catherine!  We are so proud of you!

Yogurt Date

How fun is this?  We ran into all these friends at yogurt after school, and we all had the best time laughing and playing together.  So fun!

The Best Comforter

Peter had a bad day at school, and was feeling pretty sad about it when he got home.  This is always when Lizzy kicks right in.  She always knows just what to do to raise your spirits.  Lizzy got a plastic baggy and filled it all up with adorable and thoughtful little trinkets to make Peter smile.  She included some money (Peter's favorite!), a golf ball (he loves to play), some cool rocks, a smile card, a heart made out of legos, and a little note that said "I love you."  Peter couldn't help but feel loved and taken care of, and he cheered right up.  Thank goodness for such a loving and kind girl that we are so thankful to have in our family!

Tea With The Ladies

Lizzy and Caroline's cute friend, Kaylin, wanted to check out one of our favorite spots to enjoy afternoon tea.  We went all together, the three girls and the three moms, and had a wonderful afternoon.  What a treat to do something special with just Lizzy, and to enjoy such a beautiful day with such adorable girls!
