Some Bits and Pieces...

The summer countdown has begun! Can't wait for the kiddos to be out of school next week! We have some fun mini-trips planned and I'm really looking forward to spending lots of family time together and not having to get out the door every-single-morning:)


Lily had "Childrens Night" at school recently and I would include pictures of her singing with her classmates but it was not at all organized and I couldn't squeeze through the mob of parents to get a picture of her. Don't even get me started! But, here's one of the four of us from that night:




We had SUCH a fun ditch day with our sweet friends, The LaTours:) Jessica and I had been planning it for awhile and it worked out so well. We planned to surprise the kids and take them out for a day of fun instead of going to school...Lily was getting so upset with me as we drove past her school but as soon as we pulled up to the bagel shop and she saw her friends, she got over it:) We took them to see Rio and it was such a fun special day, so glad we did it


The four of us volunteered at the Rock N Roll marathon over the weekend and we had a great day. Proceeds from the race benefit the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society and they helped us out last year when Jack was sick so we wanted to do something (however small it may be) to help out a great cause. The doctor in charge of our tent was so fun and he got the kids involved in helping out. They wrapped lots of knees with ice and ran to get water and band aids when the runners needed them. The kids were troopers considering we got them up at 4 am and they lasted over 8 hours down there! It feels good to give back, and we plan to go back next year:)






Lily lost her first tooth! Finally! This little guy had been hangin on for dear life for months! That night she said she thought she should leave something special for the tooth fairy since she would be leaving something for her. I told her that her tooth was special enough:) The tooth fairly left her $5! Can you believe that? Maybe it was so much because it was her first tooth...
