FATHER'S DAY 2010

Father's Day we spent ALL afternoon in the pool. Rob grilled steaks and crab legs for dinner. Grandma brought homeade potato salad and strawberry shortcake. The weather was beautiful and the pool was a perfect 86 degrees. Afterwards we opened presents and then played Grandma's new bean bag toss that she won golfing this week! It was a nice relaxing day!

ROB TURNS 45!!

Tonight we went to Cara's Mongolian BBQ to celebrate Rob's 45th birthday!! We were happy to have the McKeown's join us for dinner. Afterwards, we came home and opened presents. Adam wanted dad to have some new "cool" clothes, so that's what he got, along with a pair of shorts, running socks and a cover for his new grill. Happy birthday Rob!

LAST DAY OF SCHOOL

Today was not only the last day of school for the kids...it was the last day of elementary school for Adam. I thought I had gotten through my emotions about ten days ago while driving the kids to school one morning and realized there were "only 10 days left of school". Well that really got to me that day and I cried all the way to work thinking how fast these past six years have gone. This morning, however, I was just ready to get the day over and let summer officially begin. Then picking them up tonight after Scope it hit me again just how grown up my first born is. He will never again go to Dubois School. He will never again go to the Scope program (although that brings joy, not sadness!) and we will never again attend a parent/teacher conference for him at that school. As I am staying on as President of the PTO next year, it will be strange having only one child going to school there. And as excited as we are for Adam to start Lincoln Magnet in the Fall, I am very glad I have all summer to get used to the idea of him being in middle school! Today is definitely a milestone in his life, and Rob and I couldn't be more proud of him if we tried. He is such a great kid and we thank God everyday for choosing us as his parents!

This morning...bring on the last day already! Adam and a few of his friends
Emily and some girls after school
Goodbye Dubois (for summer anyway!)

I just had to find a picture of Adam's first day of kindergarten to compare to today's picture...

All grown up :(
