School's out!

Man, time flies. Alaina has finished THIRD grade. She had a wonderful year with a wonderful teacher. My third grade teacher called me Kathy. And once I peed my pants in her classroom during standardized testing because she wouldn't call on me when I had my hand raised and we weren't allowed to speak. It was *great* - so different than Alaina's year. :)

Adam ran a MARATHON. Yep, 26.2 miles. He ran it the first weekend in June in South Bend. It was pretty amazing. We got to chase him around South Bend to cheer him on throughout the race. We were able to see him 4 times during the race. The runners crossed the finish line inside Notre Dame's football stadium, so that was so cool (for me even just to be IN it!).

Luke turned 7 mos. old on the 10th. He's trying to crawl and cut teeth. He can sometimes get from his stomach to sitting when he tries hard enough. And he's eating like mad. The kid thinks he should eat big kid food if it's anywhere close to him, no matter if he just ate a full meal.

Cami turned FIVE on the 16th. She celebrated by having cousin Vanessa for a sleep-over the weekend before, dinner at Chick-fil-a the night before (so she could go to Kid's Night and make a craft and get a balloon hat) and then had a backyard water party on the morning of her birthday. It was fun-filled and exhausting. :)

We left the next day for our annual trip to Myrtle Beach. We had an amazing time spending time with my parents, my brother and his girlfriend and our friends the Moloney's. Luke loved the beach and pool just like his sisters. He loved kicking his legs like he was trying to swim while we pulled him through the pool water. It was like instinct took over! He did get knocked over by a wave the last day we were there while sitting in the sand at the beach near the water. The tide came in a bit harder than I expected and wiped him out flat on his back.













We took a side trip when we left Myrtle Beach to Wilmington, NC to visit Adam's cousin Curt and his family. We hadn't seen Curt and Tee for nearly 4 years and our families have changed so much since then! It really was a great reunion with them and the kids had a blast playing together. And Cami swam by herself for the first time in their pool!

The girls leave for Ft. Wayne Friday night for a week. They are looking forward to time with grandparents and we are looking forward to a little break as well! I'm already starting my to-do list, including weeding (since it rained so much while we were on vacation our yard went CRAZY!) and deep cleaning. Sounds fun huh? :)
