Soaring Eagles Graduation

It's hard to believe, but Alden is officially done with with preschool!  He has had an amazing year- great teachers, fun, smart and spunky friends- we couldn't ask for anything better!

The day of his graduation his grandparents, Al and Theresa, came down from NY.  We were super excited- Alden had kept the entire ceremony a secret- good job! And an added excitement was that Addie was the commencement speaker!  They both did an excellent job and we couldn't be prouder of both of them!!

Little Graduate

I can't believe it- on Thursday, Alden officially graduates from preschool and becomes a full-fledged kindergartner!  I love that his preschool does the cap and gown- the next time he will do this will be for highschool- what a comparison that will be!

He is such an incredible little man and has grown physically, emotionally, academically and spiritually this year- it's simply amazing!  I look forward to how he is going to be used by God in his school next year- and am super excited for him to have that experience!

All Moved In!!

Over the weekend, we were able to get moved in- whew!  For the first time ever in all our various moves, we hired some movers- they moved all the furniture- old house to truck, truck to new house- all with crazy summer weather!  It was wonderful!!  Saturday morning, thanks to good friends- Mike and Nick- all the boxes were moved out of the old house and into the new house in a matter of hours! And the best part- for me at least- was my good friend Karen, who graciously offered to watch the kids all day!  This left me free to clean the old house and then unpack at the new house!  By the time the kids came home- their rooms were done and their playroom mostly done!

Here are a few pics of various rooms- there will be more posted once I paint!!
