Kindergarten Graduation

Today was our last day of school so we now officially have two Kindergarten graduates and First Graders-to-be in the family. Abby and Ellie both completed the entire homeschool Kindergarten curriculum with flying colors (and Mom survived too!). At the end of class I presented them with certificates of completion for History/Socal Studies, Science, Math, and Language Arts. They are so proud of all their accomplishments and Brian and I are very proud of them too. Way to go girls!!

A Taste of Summer!

We had a glorious weekend -- just a sample of the nicer weather that hopefully will finally arrive in a month or so. Big brother Jason came home to visit and of course the girls were absolutely thrilled to see him and our good friend Kalani. It was sort of bittersweet as K is moving back home to Hawaii so we won't see him for a while. I guess we will have to start saving up those airline miles again!

Spring is slowly arriving

We have had the coldest spring this year. It just doesn't seem to want to warm up around here. The girls have been dying to get out and work on the gardens so we finally just bundled up and started, even though the temperatures have barely been above freezing.
