I can't believe the school year is almost over--just a few more days & my baby is going to be done with first grade! Collin had a poetry recital and awards ceremony today at school. Kevin's dad came to watch the kids & I am sooo thankful that I could go & watch Collin & take some pictures. It would have been impossible with Cameron because he would have never sat through 2 hours of first graders reciting various poems--I was getting restless at the end! Collin did such a great job with his poem...but he was extremely interested in what was in his shoes and at the imaginary bugs in the air that he kept trying to catch while his classmates were reciting their poems. I wish I had it on video to show, but he apparently was so bored that his shoes were the most fun thing to play with. Despite the bug catching, shoe playing, etc, I am so proud of him. His teacher has given him many compliments about his good choices & how he is a role model for his friends.

We re-did our landscaping over Memorial Day weekend. We still have some finishing touches (like mulch), but we slaved through the downpours of the weekend and got it done!
