Soon to be a Kindergarten Graduate.

Hard to believe, but this little man is about to graduate Kindergarten! Evan's last day of school is coming up and he will be graduating on June 6th. Can't wait!

Teacher's Pet

Love this picture of Eliana in their 'classroom.' I have about 2 1/2 hours usually between picking up Evan from school and picking up Eliana. Sometimes me and Eliana grab lunch or sometimes we just go back to my place and spend some quality time just me and her. There's also some video from this day where Eliana is pretending to be the teacher that I'll post another time.

New Tattoo

Hey not bad for 50 cents huh? I bet he was the coolest kid in his Kindergarten class the next day!

Evan's Class Trip to Longwood Gardens

 I joined Evan and his classmates on his trip to Longwood Gardens in Kennett Square, PA.

The kids learned all about the life cycle of plants and trees, including this tree, who's leaves are red in the spring and green in the fall.

 All the kids wrapped up a Lima Bean, wrapped it in cotton, had it sprayed with water and put in a little ziploc bag as a souvenir. In a few days the bean should sprout and Evan and I will plant it in the yard.

 L-R Evan, Jackson, Liam, and Connor. They ran around like maniacs in the Topiary Garden.

 Their Kindergarten teacher Miss Windle gets them to stand still for a second to snap a photo.

Me and Connor's dad were in charge of this group. They stop to pose for a cool photo.

This one was all Jackson's idea.

One of the awesome treehouses at Longwood.

Up in the treehouse.

No rabbit ears guys! They can't help themselves.

Now it's time for a bumpy bus ride back to school! What a great day they had. Evan said he wants to go back again with all his school friends.

Baseball Season

Evan got his first ever hit from a moving pitch in a game today. Daddy was very proud.

The kids started off hitting from the tee again this year but we recently started introducing coach

pitching, and later in the month, we'll be using the pitching machine. Evan did a great job hitting the ball and getting to first base. Coaching is fun, but I really just enjoy watching him play. Sometimes I forget I'm watching a 5 year old. He'll be playing defense in the infield with his hands on his knees in the ready position with his eyes on the batter and it looks like he's been playing for years! Way to go Evan! 

100th Day

Evan had his 100th Day of School party yesterday. So Eliana and I went over to join Evan and his classmates for a little party. Each student had to bring in 100 of something. Evan brought in 100 Matchbox/Hot Wheels cars. The basket he brought them in was HEAVY. One of his friends brought in 100 marshmallows in a ziploc bag ate nearly the entire bag durin the party. Here's a picture of Evan and his classmates yesterday.

Eliana's 4th Birthday Party!

Eliana is 4 years old! We had a great birthday party for her, lots of her friends and cousins came and had such a great time. Hard to believe our baby is growing up.
