Noah Graduates!

Noah finished school a couple of weeks earlier than his sisters.  On the last day of preschool they had a graduation.  

They sang songs for us

Did the Pledge of Allegiance

And received a preschool diploma.  They each told what the wanted to be when the got older.  Noah said he wanted to be a baseball player, a race car driver, or an astronaut.

Pet Parade

Sammy talked me into bringing Daisy to school to participate in the annual Pet Parade.  Daisy was so excited to be socializing with what seemed to be hundreds of other dogs.

Checking out the other dogs.

Daisy loves kids, and she loves getting attention, so I figured she would be in heaven.

But it was a hot day, and she had already worn herself out playing with the other dogs before the parade started.  She started to decide that she didn't want to be petted anymore. Notice her trying to go to the right.

A little farther right.  I kept having to pull her back towards the kids.

And she's done.

Choir

Megan's school choir had a couple of events during May.  The first was her spring choir concert.  They sounded great like they always do. She will be in choir again next year at the high school. 

They also had the opportunity to sing the National Anthem at a Arkansas Naturals baseball game.

Anxiously awaiting the game

The choir sounded awesome!

It was a beautiful night, and we spent most of the night watching the game from the outfield while the kids played at the playground.  It was a fun family night.

Back to Volleyball

Megan tried out for and made the 9th grade volleyball team for next year.  She has worked so hard over the past year, and has really come a long way.  It's going to be a busy summer and fall, but we can't wait to be part of another season with her!

Mother's Day Tea

In Sammy's school class this year, they had a Mother's Day tea for all of the kids and their moms.  All of the moms waited outside the classroom until our child came at to get us and escort us to our seats. Once inside they gave us a tissue paper corsage, brought us refreshments, and showed us a folder of things they made just for us.

Then they sang and signed for us the song "Have I Told You Lately That I Love You".

It was so nice to be spoiled by Sammy and spend some special time just with her.
