Silly Pics

This summer Lilly has really improved on her swimming. She's swimming all over the pool and has lost her fear of the "deep end." This week she started swim lessons and has been doing great!! Gage has also become a fan of the pool although he doesn't go in nearly as much as Lilly. He would rather be held then go in a floaty which always proves to be fun!!

In these pictures Lilly decided to style Gage's hair by using her wet hands!! As long as he's got food in his hands, he doesn't care what she does to him!!

Lilly's Graduation

Tristan & Lilly

It's hard to believe that an entire school year has already flown by. I can still remember the knots I had in my stomach as I drove Lilly to her first day of school. And then the anticipation as I went to pick her up!

Thankfully Lilly was blessed with a very nice and good teacher, Mrs. Merlo. Lilly grew very attached to Mrs. Merlo and on several occasions there were tears when having to leave her for the day (including the last day of school). Throughout the year we have been amazed at what Lilly has learned and we are so very proud of her!!

Although Lilly's class didn't have a formal graduation (like the 4 year olds) they did receive certificates and participated in a little performance of songs! She did a great job and it was so cute watching all the little kids. I am so glad we got it on video because it will be something worth showing them when they're in high school (it could possibly be blackmail material!!).

Gage's Party

A little late in posting these, but here they are!! We had a wonderful First Birthday Party for Gage. Lots of friends and family came (missed a few family members, though!!) and it was a good time. Gage was quite funny with his cake. Not so sure at first, but then Lilly helped get into the cake and once he started eating he wouldn't stop!! Ever since he's been loving him some sweets!!
