I Can't Believe It...

So there are only 3 more days until Macie and Kaitlin are officially out of school. Holy Cats! that means they will now be moving to 3rd grade and 1st grade. Is it really possible? Are my babies really getting this old? I won't even bring up how old this make me!!! They are so excited. Kaitlin has been helping move her current Kindergarten room to the "new" room. After the bond issue made it possible to add a new library and a new Kindergarten room among other improvements they are now going to be offering two rooms of all day Kindergarten next year. She feels like she "missed out" but has been pretty excited about helping set the new room up. In fact, on Friday evening it was after 11:00 p.m. (yes - parent of the year with quality bed times) and I told her she just had to go to sleep - she very confidently informed me she "had to keep studying for first grade!" They grow so fast! Now as for Macie - we already need a calender just for her events. If it isn't field trips, hanging out with her friends, or camps we are already running all over the place. She is changing so fast and really growing up. We spent Saturday running errands and doing a little shopping and it was honestly like hanging out with a totally different person. It is hard to believe she will be 8 years old in a little over a month.

Sorry - no great updated pictures yet. My plans are to take some of them on their last day of school and add them this weekend. I just had to share some thoughts tonight after I went to our graduation and thought about how long we would someday have to wait to hear their names called at the end of the alphabetic class list --

My Attempt

So, I guess it is time I do a better job of keeping everyone posted on what is going on in our lives. The girls seem to be getting more involved and how do I keep everyone "up to date" and not get in trouble for forgetting something or someone? Well, I am going to attempt this blogging thing. Yes, I am admitting I am a long way behind the times - guess this means my age is starting to show. Anyway - work with me as I try to figure this all out and stay caught up. Enough about me...

School is officially out the end of May! I didn't know that Kindergarten and 2nd Graders started counting down the days! Aren't they suppose to love school at the age? Anyway - I think everyone is ready to be out - no matter what age! The girls have had a great year and it went so fast. I have to say there is absolutely no more spelling the secret things in our house... the girls can already spell too many things. The latest accomplishment for the girls is them participating in their 2nd Dance Recital. (Watch for pictures if I can figure out the best way to post them on this page!) Yes, that is correct our daughters are in dance and love it. But let's get this straight right up front - they are also playing machine pitch softball this summer and going to basketball and volleyball camp. So I figure we will have well rounded girls! Right?

Time to move on to figuring out the pictures and trying to get some things looking spiffy on this blog. I know I am going to put my SIL's into shock when they see this - actually I will probably have to ask for their help. Stay tuned...
