Kindergarten.... CHECK!




The Graduate....


August 2015
May 2016

Notice the "smile-sass" I get these days.... Look at what a baby she was!!
The bangs are a bit long in preparation for the big recital in June!! 
She can't wait!  And neither can I ... but at the same time I'd like time to slow down, just a bit!



Yesterday Piper fell asleep in the stroller... so sweet!






Field Day at school!


The card she made her teacher by herself!  Busy at her desk.
Mrs. Sarich should be proud...these kids soaked it all up...and I think Annabelle is doing a great job writing and spelling!!  




Last School Mass Hosted by Kindergarten

Our insurance company approved a new roof from hail and wind damage.... here's the before....
Stay tuned for the "after"
Adam and I are both weirdos and picked a Hunter Green Roof...
Non-conformists!

Piper VERY amused with herself playing with the doll house



Post-clap victory dance for placing grandpa in a chair..



Admiring her work..


Then trying to climb in the doll house...




The only time of day when Piper sits still....when Annabelle comes home from school and has a snack and show in the sunroom....

If I weren't so anti-tv I'd leave them there all day....!



My beautiful flowers from my beautiful family!
