We're still here- Part 2!

Yikes! It's been awhile since I've ventured over here. Valentine's Day to be exact! After taking this "short" blogging break- I am back and hoping to get on track with regular posting again. I have missed it! I have lots to share but I think rather than trying to go backwards and catch up- I will just start with the present and add updates here and there?? We'll try it and see how it goes!
First up? We have FIRST GRADERS in the house! The girls finished their Kindergarten year with tears in their eyes because they didn't want to stop going to school and seeing their teacher Mrs. B every day. Warms my heart to hear that since education is SO important to us and we want the girls to love school! Several tears later, Mrs. B and I reassured them that this wasn't the end- 1) we are going to Mrs. B's house TOMORROW to ride her horses and hang out in her pool (very cool and special!) and 2) Mrs. B is going to be their First Grade teacher next year!!! YAY!!!!!The girls have grown up so much this year- no more babies/toddlers/preschoolers in this house! They are little people now- with opinions and we are for sure busier than ever. (is it easier? yes- but busier- if that makes sense?)

So for now I will leave you with the girls Spring pictures from April and our family portraits from church taken in January.
