FBC Preschool Graduation

Cassidy's preschool held its graduation ceremony today for the 4-year-old classes. The kids sang for us and received certificates and then we all enjoyed a reception. It was a fun day and we were so glad that we got to share it with our family!

The Monkeys all dressed up for graduation!

Our Growing Family :)

We were so blessed that Grandma and Grandpa came up to celebrate with us!

The Graduate

SOOOOOOOO Proud!

I can't believe how grown up she looks!

Marching into the sanctuary to "Pomp and Circumstance."

Cassidy chewed on her tassle during the ceremony, which caused her cap to look like this!

Receiving her certificate

Cassidy and Mrs. Lisa (Cassidy adores Mrs. Lisa...she has been such a blessing to us this year as she has encouraged and loved our little girl!)

Cassidy and Mrs. Colbourn (Such an amazing teacher. She has been SO patient this year and loving, understanding all of Cassidy's little quirks and helping her grow. Cassidy
loves her and I will miss hearing her call "Hey, Ladybug!" every morning when we arrive at school.)

Gran came to share in all the fun...my monkeys LOVE him!!!

Bring on the Food!

I let Finny test out some baby food this week. He seems to like it...and I think he equally likes being at the table with the rest of the family. He has quickly learned the sign for "more" and shows it to me immediately after receiving a bite of food. This kid's either a genius or STARVING! :)

Finn's 6-Month Stats

Here are some more of my favorites from Finn's 6-month portraits. Such a cutie! :)

Preschool Mother's Day Lunch

Today, I joined Cassidy at preschool for a Mother's Day lunch. It was a wonderful opportunity for us to spend some one-on-one time together...a rare treat these days in our busy household!

Some beautiful gifts awaited me at the table...a card, a bookmark, a handpainted picture frame with a drawing of me inside, and a corsage with Cassidy's picture inside. There was also a picture that Cassidy drew of us hanging on the wall...we picked it up as we left. The students were supposed to draw a picture of them and their mommy doing something fun. Cassidy's caption read, "I like getting clean in the shower with Mommy..." Hmmm, I wonder what her teachers thought of that!

The kids also performed 3 songs for us, all about mommies! :)

When did my baby get so big?!?!

Enjoying our YUMMY lunch

Me and My First Baby

And He's UP!!!

After some practice, the Finn man is sitting up and playing on his own. My little monkey is growing SO fast!!!

Happily playing with his blocks

He likes nothing better than to crash down a tower of blocks!

One Happy Baby!
