Last Day of Kindergarten for Luke and Liam was May 29, 2014.  Luke and Liam will be at a new school next year.

Last Day of Preschool for Aiden was also May 29, 2014.  He will do one more year of preschool before kindergarten.

Summer Fun with our friends the day after school ended!!

For the first time in six years, we decided to divide up for an entire weekend.  I know it sounds silly, but we generally take everyone she we go places until last weekend.  John took the big boys to Cincinnati to see our nephew, Zach, play in the district finals for his baseball team.  Zach is a very impressive student and left handed pitcher who will be attending the University of Kentucky in the fall.  Luke and Liam loved Zach and his entire baseball team.  They also had such a fun time visiting with their cousins, swimming and fishing at Aunt Jenni's, and seeing the rest of our extended family.  Zach's team won their game while the boys were there and ended up advancing to the State Tournament which will be held this weekend.  Overall, it was a fun trip with Dad and they enjoyed doing some "big boy" things without the schedules we abide by with their younger brothers.

Although we missed getting to see everyone in Cincinnati, Aiden, Finn, and I enjoyed our time in Minnesota over the weekend.  It was a bit slower pace than normal, thankfully.  Aiden enjoyed the extra attention, two play dates with friends all by himself, eating at his favorite restaurants, etc...I know he missed his brothers and especially Daddy, but he didn't ask too much about them.

We had our last day of kindergarten and preschool on Thursday, May 29th.  We said goodbye to some amazing teachers that I will always remember.  Aiden will be back at the same school next year, but Luke and Liam will be moving on to our neighborhood elementary school.  We also said goodbye to several good school friends that we have known for the last four years as each of them will be attending different elementary schools in our area.  I think I was likely more emotional about leaving than Luke and Liam were, but we are all excited about what lies ahead.
