Hello, Summer

Our summer vacation is off to a great start this year! We enjoyed a fun picnic at the park with the Toledo Parents Group.

 

 

 

We spent some time with Chris' family celebrating Chris and Eli's birthday along with all the other April and May birthdays. We then got to attend one of our nephew's soccer games. Go Alex!

 

 

 

 

 

Logan went on his first trip to the zoo (technically he went in December for Lights at the Zoo, but we didn't see any animals so I don't count that as his first trip). 

 

 

 

 

The whole fam took their first trip to Fort Meigs to learn a little more about the history of Perrysburg. After checking out the American camp we watched a musket demonstration. After the first shot our boys got a little worried...

 ...after the second shot, they high-tailed it outta there!

 

 

 

 

We attended our first parade of the summer. Happy Memorial Day!

And when we're not running around we've just been enjoying the warm weather outside. 

We Have a Graduate!

A preschool graduate, that is. Colin graduated from preschool and is very excited to start Kindergarten in the Fall. His program and ceremony were very cute, complete with the kids walking across the stage and receiving a diploma. Colin was very serious during the ceremony and when we asked him about it afterward, he admitted to being very nervous performing in front of all the families. So, we didn't get very many smiles, but he did allow a few smirks. And despite him feeling nervous, we still saw a huge improvement in his participation from the first time he performed with his 3-year-old class.

We have been so happy with Colin's preschool and feel that it has really helped to prepare him for Kindergarten. Not only in terms of academics but in fostering a love for school and learning. We are so proud of his accomplishments and are excited for him to move on to big-boy school in the Fall.
Congratulations, buddy!

 

 

 

Spring Happenings

We've been busy this Spring! Colin started soccer and *loves* it!

His first game was pretty cold.

 

He managed to stay warm.

 

 At his most recent game he threw himself an assist...

 managed a break-away...

 and scored his first goal!!

 The whole family went on a field trip to the Butterfly House with Colin's preschool class.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 I attended Mom's Day in at Colin's school. We played, made a craft together, ate a yummy lunch, and the kids put a program on for the moms.

 

 

 

 We celebrated Star Wars Day.

 And we celebrated Mother's Day. I love my boys!
