::let the countdown begin::

we had a great weekend celebrating brandon and nakita!

let the countdown begin until they are mr. and mrs. smith!

::she's a kindergartner::

last day of preschool!

i can hardly believe my baby has finished her preschool career!  how is it possible??

lily had her last day today and she was so excited about the festivities surrounding it.  she has had an awesome year and we will so miss mrs. w and mrs. p!  they have been amazing!!

on wednesday, her class had an end of the year party and picnic and she received her preschool diploma.  i was surprised when she got a sweet little diploma, and even more surprised when i had tears streaming down my face.  i know i will be awash with emotion when she has her first day of kindergarten, but i didn't think i'd have such a strong reaction to the end of preschool.  i'm in trouble come september!

it is hard to believe we have a school aged daughter...i am so proud of the sweet girl she is becoming!  

happy memorial day weekend and happy summer!

first day of this school year.

as whit would say, "di di di!"

we are atlanta bound tomorrow!

ryan has an annual conference in the ATL and the kids and i are calling it the perfect reason to tag along and spend time with whit!

and we are so fortunate that ash, diego, duke AND my mom are going to be joining us!  we will dearly miss the remaining members of my family, but it will be great to have some time together.  i'm not quite sure that whit's house is ready for what is about to hit it!

thanks in advance for hosting us, whit...we can't wait to see you tomorrow!!!

my kids surely got their singing and dance skills from me.

one of their favorite things to do right now is turn music up really loudly and dance and sing for crosby.  i'm not exactly sure how he feels about it, but he is always a good sport.

but they sure are sweet together.

happy mother's day!

the last month of our lives has flown by.

between selling our home, finding a house to rent in houston, starting to pack and all of the end of the year activities, my poor children hardly have a picture to document the last several weeks of their lives.

but, we are here and doing well.  just trying to savor the last few weeks in c'ville and all of the goodness that comes with it.

crosby's latest tricks.  he feels so big!  unfortunately, he finds himself stuck in this position and can't figure out how to get back down.  

lily and finn are obsessed with legos right now and spend hours building houses and playing with their "friends" together.  love.

he keeps me on my toes right now...

love to you all!
