The Learning Ladder Christian Preschool held their graduation for all the kiddos this past Wednesday evening, May 31st. Timothy was very excited to get his graduation hat; but not so much to have to sing and take a bow at the end. I asked him if he would at least sing one song for me, you know, since to date, he hasn't sang at any of his programs. He assured me he would sing two, his favorites, but that was it. Just two. .....wouldn't you know it, he DID!!!! It's a graduation miracle!! He sang Days of the Week, which then transitioned into Months of the year. Woo-hoo!! Thank you, my sweet boy, you made this Mama so happy!!
He also totally rocked the bow! I thought maybe he would get shy and clam up, but that little stinker did just fine! Way to go, Timothy!
We are so dang proud of you, sweet boy! You've worked so hard this past year on your letters, numbers, colors, shapes, writing your name, and a million more things! I can hear your little voice echoing in my mind saying "It's because I'm a genius!" hahaha.
Timothy's last day of school was this morning, June 2nd. I almost can't believe it. How did it happen so quickly? How are the preschool years done already? Wasn't I just waking Anthony in to his first day? And now it's Timothy's last day! *sigh* I can't help but be so sentimental. That's me. Gosh, as excited as I was for this milestone, I had such a heavy heart walking out of the Preschool, knowing it was to be my last time walking out with a little hand holding mine. I don't do well with lasts.
We are so thankful for Mrs. Williams and the other ladies of Learning Ladder Christian Preschool. For 6 years, off and on, we have trusted these ladies to love and care for each of our children. We are forever grateful for the kindness, love, and fun they have shown them.

Happy last day of Preschool, Hunny Bunny! Onwards and upwards!
This past Memorial Day Weekend, we went to visit Mike. We made a trip to the Tohoma National Cemetery where Joanie is interred. It was such a warm and gorgeous day. The view of Mt. Rainer from the cemetery was breathtaking! Flowers and flags adorned the grounds; it was a wonderful sight. We cut flowers from Mike's yard to bring with us, and Mike and the kids placed them next to Joanie. Our visit to see Joanie was beautiful and much needed by all. Just beautiful.
Mike was so kind as to heat the pool for us. The kids were out of their minds excited to be able to have some pool time fun. In truth, other than a shopping trip to Costco, the grocery store, and out to ice cream, we did little else. The down time was great. Nothing beats sitting by their pool, drink in hand, soaking up the sun while watching the kiddos play. All of them have made great growth with their water confidence. Anthony was jumping in the deep and swimming, Molly was jumping in with her life vest, and you should have seen Timothy swimming all over with his life vest on! What a big boy!
We really enjoyed our visit with Mike. I think our company was good for him too. We talked about Joanie, shared stories, and we went through some things. It felt nice to be in Joanie's "space."
We're hoping to return for another visit this summer....just like we've done for the past 10 years.
