Luke celebrated his first birthday this week. With RahRah, Poppa Hollywood, Uncle Patrick, Aunt Julie, Gma Vickie and Poppa Frank spending the night after Grace's dance performance, we decided that Sunday would be a wonderful day to celebrate (along with Uncle Chris' birthday too!). I made Luke a Cookie Monster cake - which turned out pretty good, if I say so. Much thanks to Miss Charity for the pan and the coloring. (This is the second cake she's missed making for my kids.... :-P )


Luke wasn't a big fan of his cake at first, but after it was cut and given a piece of it, he was all for it. By the end, he had it in his hair, ear, his clothes, it was everywhere! But he loved it!!

Flashback Friday // Graduation Day

Today was the last day of Grace's Preschool career. She had a wonderful time, with great teachers, learning a lot, and making many new friends. We are so grateful for her teachers!

The teachers had a graduation ceremony at the end of class today. We got to see all the children walk over to the Principal, receive their dipolma and run back to their chairs. It was very cute. They also sang many songs, which I will upload at some point.

So today's picture is a Flashback to the first day of school in August 08 and today's picture, the last day of school. Look how they've grown.

PS. Audrey is standing a little taller on the step today.

Bowling

I finally got to go on a field trip with Grace and her class (last day of school is tomorrow!). We went bowling and it was a lot of fun! Grace was grouped with the 3 children I have heard the most about this year. Toby is her boyfriend and Emma would be her best girl friend. They are with her below. And being Grace, she didn't let bowling deter her from wearing a dress...
