last days of preschool

Posted by Aaron and Lisa

We had a fun time last week celebrating the end of a preschool year.

On Monday Kate's class invited us for a program and we went again on Wednesday for Vivian's.

They did an awesome job with big smiles and sweet singing voices.

Everything went so smoothly with preschool this year and the girls had a great time making friends.

Hank and Papa watching for Kate to come in for the program.

Kate is the smiling zebra on the far left.

This is one of her closest little friends. So sweet together!

Vivian's class on Wednesday with their certificates. She is on the far right, middle row.

That morning before I dropped them off, I asked for a last day of preschool picture. This is what I got!

Cracks me up!

Hank watched the show!

There was a reception afterwards for both programs.

Vivian was excited about the new book in her goodie bag that the teachers gave her.

A mini photo shoot after the reception!

first day at the lake, memorial day weekend

Posted by Aaron and Lisa

View of everyone from the condo. We spent that Saturday afternoon in that spot. So peaceful.

Sunbathing sister-in-law :) She needed the rest and relaxation after the crazy busy past couple of months that she's had.

Joey set us up with some music.

Lucas came from Lucama and brought the awesome Interstate Battery cornhole boards that he made.

baton recital fun

Posted by Aaron and Lisa

A few Sunday afternoons ago we attended Tasha's baton recital (she has been teaching baton classes in Salem for many many years!).

Kate and I got a little camera-happy while waiting for the show to start.

The girls were so entranced by the baton twirling! Kate got in the aisle to see better. A very girly afternoon outing!

legos and carpet

Posted by Aaron and Lisa

These girls love legos.

They played for about an hour together with this simple set today.

And they are enjoying the new soft, clean carpet in that room beside the kitchen!

We all are. We replaced it a few weeks ago.

We also did some new things to the bathroom. I will share pictures soon, when I can add a few more finishing touches to the decor.

tennessee road trip

Posted by Aaron and Lisa

This past weekend was a busy one for us.

We loaded up the car and drove to Tennessee to visit Aaron's old youth pastor, Jeff, and his family.

Bryan came from NC to ride with us and spend the weekend with the whole crew!

We spent time at their house on Saturday afternoon, and then went out to eat that night.

On Sunday we worshipped with them at their church (Jeff is now a senior pastor) and Aaron spoke to the congregation.

And then we drove home!

I got some pictures from the back seat, mostly of the baby boy who stared at me while he was awake.

He was pretty content about 85% of the trip. His naps were short. There were a few moments that he just lost it from being sick of sitting in that seat! We all know how a baby can make or break a road trip.

Vivian was a great backseat entertainer for him.

We had a beautiful view from our hotel on a hill.

These were taken before our dinner on Saturday night.

We enjoyed the company and the serious family togetherness :)

We just restocked our hairbows a few weeks ago...wow.

I never dreamed that I would have something like this in my house!

Pretend that I posted this on Mother's Day!

It's still funny anytime you watch it, though.

mother's day 2013

Posted by Aaron and Lisa

We had a Mother's Day party in the backyard yesterday to celebrate together!

Hope everyone also had an enjoyable day with family.

It was also my birthday yesterday (30!).

Kate is crazy. Aaron got this pacifier for Hank but she stole it to be funny...although my mom and I agreed that she was using it as an excuse to have one in her mouth. She has been without a pacifier for almost a year but sometimes it seems like those things still have her under a spell!

Fuzzy hair and fried chicken

We played a game in honor of mom, asking questions to match hers to see who knows her best. I think we all got the same questions right and the same questions wrong...hmmm...we could pay attention a little more :)

Check out the awesome wind chimes in the left of the picture. It was the gift of the day! Last week in Florida, Mom and I both commented on the wind chimes at the neighbor's house. So Joey and Tasha gifted me some for my birthday, and Stephen picked some up for Mom from all of us. They sound beautiful.
