Beach Babies

So happy that beach season has arrived!  Nothing better than spending the day at the beach.

Wilder Graduation

Madeleine graduated from Wilder.  It was bitter sweet because I am excited for her to go to the "big school" but so sad that she is leaving the wonderful, loving pre school that she loves so much.

 Getting her diploma and medal from her teachers, Mrs. Rooney, and Mrs. Ventresca.

 She learned so much at Wilder including how to do the monkey bars.

 Her best bud, Brandon

 Other best buddy, Olivia.

Madeleine on her first day at Wilder almost two years ago.  She has grown up so much since that first day. 

Recital

This year the recital was extra special because Madeleine and Claire were in it.  Jenn, the ballet teacher, decided at the last minute to put the baby ballerina class in the recital and it was absolutely adorable.  Madeleine was the helper for the baby ballerinas and she did a great job and looked so grown up.  She also did a great in her routine.  She went on stage with confidence and smiled throughout the dance.  I could not be prouder of my girls. 

The first few are from the rehearsal on Saturday.

A little behind on posting

It has been a busy few weeks with construction, school vacation and the Wilder Fair (fundraiser at Madeleine's preschool that I was on the planning committee for). School vacation week was great because we hardly left the house.  It was relaxing and the kids had fun with lots and lots of playdates and a lot of time playing outside.   Here are a few random pictures taken over the past few weeks.

Cruising around Home Depot.

A lot of time was spent watching the workers the first few days they were here.

Madeleine loves her new big bike and she can go really fast.  She rode it over 3 miles one day along side me while I ran pushing the other two in the stroller.

 I love spring flowers.  These are from Heather's garden.

Builders started working in the house which was more entertainment.

Walls came down

Fun with friends

flash forward 12 years to a first date.  Nole and Madeleine have a little crush on each other.  Very cute.

We were outside all day one Sunday and we couldn't find Claire.  I eventually found her asleep in Paul's car.

Paul's favorite activity... burning things
