James's PreK Move-Up 2016
James is a PreK Grad!

James finished half-day 3-day-a-week PreK at Little Rascals private school. He will start at public kindergarten next fall in his new elementary school. His PreK had a little Move-Up ceremony to say good-bye. Did you want a million pictures of that? Yes? Oh good. Here you go.

Father's Day Weekend 2016

We celebrated Father's Day with Kevin this weekend. Saturday was Family Day and we had a strangely relaxed fun time at the beach. We decided to go, got our stuff quickly and it only took us about 12 minutes to get the beach. The kids had fun and after about 2 hours we came back. No drama!

Sunday was Father's Day, and Kevin slept in, we made him breakfast, and later he took the kids to the playground. A very laid back fun weekend!

Our 7th Wedding Anniversary 2016

Our 7th wedding anniversary was on the heels of our big trip to Japan, so we weren't of the mind that we deserved anything too extravagant. But we did think a date night night was in order. I urged we get Mexican because we always get sushi, but we ended up getting Mexican food, margaritas, and then sushi for dessert. Not normal but very fun.

7th Anniversary 2016
That's about right.
