summer fun

There are some new looks in our house!  Christian and Ezra wanted haircuts like their big brother.
I was a little sad to cut their hair off - especially Christian's wonderful curls, but it is fun to see them enjoy their buzz cuts.  We have been really busy these last few weeks!  I got to attend Austin's field day before school ended.  We had some play dates this last week.  We got to spend time with friends and family we don't get to see as much as we would like during the school year.

This last picture was from our visit with my sister-in-law, Karen, and our boys' cousins, Annika and Levi.  We visited their grandparents' cabin in Graham where we got to have a fire and roast marshmallows!  In the middle of the day!   There is so much more I wish I had time to post.  Hopefully I'll get another chance soon...

Christian graduates from preschool

 These guys did a good job of watching patiently:

Last Tuesday was preschool graduation for Christian.  When I asked him, he said he was glad it was done.  I don't think he hated preschool and he never seemed sad to go, but he would just rather be playing at home.  Christian seems to be most happy when he just gets to stay home all day (which is a challenge for me - I love to be on the go).  I was so proud of Christian though - he does not like being on stage, even in a group, but he got right up there and sang with his friends.  The teacher asked each child to say into the microphone what they want to be when they grow up.  Christian said he wants to be a fire fighter.  It was a bittersweet moment though, as I realized I have to let him go off to kindergarten this fall.  I'm looking forward to enjoying the summer with him first though!

Getting started...

I'm thinking about starting a blog.  This is a test page so I can see what it will look like.  Hopefully more to come!
