San Antonio

Sadly, in mid-July, Paul's mother passed away.  She had been declining for some time and we expected her days were numbered.  We visited her often and know she loved to see her grand-babies.  Her final resting place is in San Antonio.  After saying good bye to her, we made the most of the situation and spent some quality family time in San Antonio.  We visited the Riverwalk, an amusement park (Kiddie Park), and the train at Brackenridge Park.  Paul has fond memories of each place growing up as a child  in San Antonio.  It was really wonderful for me to see how happy he was to share those special  places with our kids.  As you can see below, the kids were equally happy with the attractions he chose.

Port Aransas

We took a family vacation to the Texas coast the beginning of July.  We were again joined by Grandpa Dennis, Grandma Jane, Uncle Darren, Brooklynn, Julia, and Hallie.  We had a fun time and enjoyed many hours of sun. 

 

 

 

Vacation Bible School

This summer Molly and Johnny attended two bible schools, one at our parish and one where they went to preschool.  They had a lot of fun at both and I love seeing their excitement for learning about God!
Samuel is still too little but he did help me volunteer in the nursery.

Molly's 5 year stats

Molly had her 5 year check up a few months ago but I haven't posted her stats.  Every year her doctor comments that she will likely not be very big as she is petite; then he looks at me and says it's expected!  I just hope we can make it to 40 lbs soon so we can move to the cheaper and easier booster seats.
Weight - 36lbs (16th percentile)
Height - 106cm (21st percentile)
BMI - 30%

When Mommy is away (at work). . .

Daddy and the kids will play! 

Molly graduates preschool

Molly had a sweet little preschool graduation complete with a ceremony, cap, gown, and cake.  Her class sang a couple songs, they each received a diploma from their teacher, and finished with a slide show of the year.  After the ceremony they had a reception with cake. 
We have surely enjoyed Molly's time at Westside Church of Christ Preschool and we will miss all the sweet people there. 
We had Molly's end-of-year conference and her and her teacher said she is more then prepared for kindergarten.  We are very proud of Molly.  She is a bright little girl who loves to learn and we have no doubt she has a bright future ahead of her.

 

Mother's Day

We or rather, I enjoyed Mother's Day weekend.  I was able to shop for a few hours on Saturday, without kids!  On Mother's Day we went out to a nice brunch, visited Granny, and had a relaxing afternoon.
