Father's Day Prep

As part of our Father's Day gift to Joe, Laina and I made him this really cool apron. Laina sewed her first official button today! I love how much she is concentrating on it!

Last Day of School!

There she is - - - my first grader! Oh and she's pictured here with Aiden, the first boy she ever asked to marry her!

Kindergarten Graduation Party

We had a little graduation party for Laina the night before her last day of school. Auntie Di was still in town and so we decided to celebrate while she was still here. She loved it! And I just can't believe she's on the road to first grade!

End Of Year Celebration

We were invited to attend the End of Year Celebration in Laina's classroom. The class sang a few songs to all the parents and then we celebrated with some goodies. What a great year Laina has had in Room 2. We will miss all her friends and her wonderful teacher. We could not have asked for a better Kindergarten experience for Laina.

Relay

It was a soggy day but we braved the rain and participated in our local Relay for Life. We relayed in memory of our friend Ellie and in honor of Auntie Di and Grammy and everyone else who has been affected by cancer. It was a wonderful event. Laina relayed for a while with us and then Daddy came and picked her up to get her out of the cold rain. Di and I stayed and walked in the Survivor lap which was really great.

A Month With Auntie Di

Auntie Di came to Maine and she's staying for a long long time!  She surprised Laina as mystery reader in her classroom. She volunteered to be a part of Field Day at school. She's attended Laina's dance recital and play!  Then she's coming back to participate in our Relay for Life event.  Auntie Di s a GREAT Auntie who is so involved in Laina's life. Laina is one lucky kiddo.

My Little Mama Bear

Laina performed in her second play today! She was Mama Bear in the play, Goldilocks and the Three Bears.  She did such a great job.  During her first play she was quiet and reserved and hard to hear. Such a difference in her second play. I'd say my little girl is getting very comfy up on stage! I loved all the costumes in this play so much and I especially loved how great the kids makeup looked.
