I Can Hardly Believe It....

but.....
SCHOOL IS ALMOST OUT!!!!

I think I say this every time but I can't believe that it is almost June.

It doesn't seem that long ago that my knees were knocking as I put Kaelyn and Jacob on the bus for the first time.

Remember.




Well, school is now almost done and I am amazed once more at how our children have such an amazing ability to take things in and learn.

Kaelyn had a little bit of a rough start to Grade One but according to Miss Wieringa she deserves a medal for how much she has learned and accomplished this year.

Yes, I am a proud mom.


Although Jacob still complains a lot about going to school he likes it when he is there. He has made it through the year fine.....he is still alive despite the fact that Kaelyn could shoot him every morning for making her late. Although he is "in his own world" he managed to make it through kindergarten without having to stand in the hall with his nose to the wall! And of course a bonus....He is reading already!

Yes, I am a proud mom.

This year's mother's day was so much fun. I learned a lot about myself....

and about what my kids think of me.






Every now and then Kaelyn likes to play school....she is a perfect model of her teacher!



Kaelyn's Class Trip

I had the privilege of going with Kaelyn on her class trip and of course I brought my camera...it was an enjoyable day at the DeJong's farm.

March Break

Once again we had a wonderful trip to Florida this March Break. The weather was great and Kaelyn and Jacob had lots of fun hanging out with their aunts and uncles but most especially their cousins and of course Grandma and Grandpa! Most of the pictures are in water.....cause that is where we spent most of our time!





















Oh, my dear Kaelyn and her toothless grin!










Oh, my sweet Jacob and his long eye lashes






Family Picture...compliments of Aunt Rennie!!!




It was such a blessing once again to see and experience the beauty of God's creation
