And at long last...






... an update.  

Jack is now 7 months old!  He is doing great- sitting up, eating 2 meals of baby food each day, and trying his best to figure out what is next after learning to sit up on his own.  Still 6 teeth but he always seems to be working on more.  

Lydia will be 3 in a few weeks and she is getting excited about celebrating her birthday. She finished her year of preschool last week and was very sad to learn that she won't be seeing her beloved teacher, Ms. Kirsten, on an almost daily basis anymore.  We don't have too much planned for Lydia this summer other than 2 sessions of swimming lessons on a beginner level beginning the end of June.  She is looking forward to preschool again in the fall with her new teachers, Ms. Harriet and Ms. Jessica.  

Miss Maggie finished her very last year of preschool last Thursday and it was bittersweet for all of us.  On one hand it is almost impossible to believe that she is done already- total cliche, but it seems like only yesterday I was dropping her off in her first classroom, as a 2 and a half year old.  The past 3 years have been terrific for her;  she has learned so much and has grown in ways I never thought possible at a preschool level.  This was by far her greatest year with the best teachers, Ms. Tricia and Ms. Lee- they took such a genuine interest in each of the children and really helped them grow and get ready for their next big step... Kindergarten!  Maggie was very sad to leave them both last week but she is very excited for her new school year coming up in August.  She has alot to look forward to this summer- 2 sessions of swim lessons starting in late June and she is also registered for 4 different summer camps at various times over the coming weeks.  

The past month has been fairly busy for us and we are looking forward to some down-time next week when we head down to Sandestin, FL for a week at the beach.
