A Preschool Grad!

Charlie graduated from West End Montessori School this week!  They had a lovely "stepping up" ceremony where they crossed over some stepping stones and got a certificate and hugs from their teachers.  We have loved Charlie's teachers and the experience he has had there so it was a special day!

Parading in like a shy guy

Chatting with his buds

"Where is my family"

"There they are!"

Hugging Ms. Jen

Shaking Ms. Carrie's hand

And Ms. Amanda

A big graduate!

Checking out the details on his certificate

Posing w/ BFF Macklin

Proud guy

Confident guy

Pigging out on cookies!

We went to Toys R Us a few days later to upgrade his ride in celebration (or because his 3 year old bike was getting a little ridiculously small)...

... to a total big boy bike!  It looks so much bigger, crazy we didn't do this sooner!

Professional Pictures

Post pictures we rode tractors at Lowe's in our fancy clothes :)

A Quick Trip to Cary

We made a quick trip down to Cary for Memorial Day and had tons of fun with all the family!

Checking out their baby pictures

Big Lane cousins on the hammock

Drumming in the yard

All the Lane cousins!

One was supposed to nap on the way home.  The one sleeping on the right was not the right one.

More May Fun

We are loving the warm, almost-summertime weather!

Trying on bubby's shoes

So happy!

Not sure where his pants went

Checking out football cards

More football cards

Uh oh, she figured out what those headphones are for.  Rocking out to some Sounds of Music here.

She wouldn't take them off or give me my phone back for a good 20 minutes.  It didn't stop her from one-handed blocks.

Swinging!

She can actually do this on herself now

So excited to play with Charlie in the play house this summer

Sending sticks down the slide

What our table regularly looks like... a football game or two out at all times

Or like this

In brothers shoes again

A new baby puzzle

Grandma sent a box of old books... but new to us!

Reading her letter all by himself

We were playing soccer on day when the mail came with his Highlights magazine.  It was exciting enough to stop play.

He finally figured out how to throw balls to Marley with the ball thrower

So much fun!

Big girl ready to go play in the neighbor's sprinklers

She had so much fun she rode home naked!
