1st year of preschool complete!

Katelyn finished her first year of preschool and boy did it go by fast! Here is a picture of us at her "last day of school" class party. I also included the link to a video of one of the songs they sang at their closing program. She is on the front row, far right (looking at the screen).

Lots to Celebrate!

From May 8-June 19, we had five major events to celebrate:

1) May 8-Mother's Day
2) May 17-8th wedding anniversary
3) May 30-My 33rd birthday
4) June 9-Dave's 34th birthday
5) June 19-Father's Day

With this in mind, Dave and I decided it would be a good idea for us to get away together each year to celebrate all of those things! Last year, we tagged our getaway onto a conference Dave had in San Diego. This year, my parents so graciously offered to watch the girls, so we dropped them off in Austin as quick as we could (before they had time to change their minds!), and headed a little further south to Gruene (pronounced "Green"), Texas. We played in the Comal River, shopped, ate out, two-stepped at Gruene Hall, napped, slept in, etc. It was awesome! Below you will find a smattering of pictures from some of the events above. Enjoy!

4 months!

Once again, one of my favorite blog entries to create! Anna's 4 month picture and Katelyn's 4 month picture...


Reunion

We just had our annual reunion of my two college roommates and their families, and it was such a blast! Seven kids between the three families made it extra crazy, but so much fun. Thank you, Flints, for always making a way to include us as part of your Texas trip itinerary!
