2nd Grade Graduate!

What a great way to finish the 2nd grade! Jack placed in the top 10 second graders for the 3K Fun Run at school! He did so good!

 Dance to Chim Chiminy Charoo at the dance festival, so cute! He really learned it well this year!

 And the last day of school we went swimming and then to the 11 and 12 year old scout camp out with dad! Here's to a great summer!

Happenings

Miss Annabelle just had her first dance audition this week! Look at that cutie sassy girl! She had so much fun, too, can't wait to hear if she made it on the team!

Jack's First Communion

Our big boy had his First Communion today! It was one of the coldest days this spring, in the low 40's and pouring rain all day long. Our sweet boy has prepared for this all year long taking classes and doing double church and a regular bases, proud of him!

 Babi, Mama and Papa, Pani Elzunia and we were there. The girls were tired since Mass started at 5pm and slept through most of the ceremony. It was a beautiful ceremony.

 The handsome group of young men. There were 55 children stepping up to their First Communion today.

 I truly have THE greatest kids! Annabelle brought home this super cute poster, 'All About Me' from preschool this week, so sweet and so proud!

Jack made this awesome clay hand to hold my rings and a super funny and sweet book for me, love to see how he sees me through his eyes!

 Then we got to go to Jack's school for his Choir Concert and Art Gala, loved it! His self portrait as a firefighter is awesome! And Sophie dear just keeps telling me "You're MY mommy" yes, sweetie, I am:) And I couldn't possibly be luckier!
