Graduation!

 She did it!! Last week Ava graduated from preschool.  She was so excited and we are so proud of her.

 Ella was very proud of her big sister, and anxious for her graduation...only 2 more years.

 Gavin celebrated in his own way...munching on some toys.

 The big moment!!  Yay Ava!!!

 I didn't get enough pictures during Ava's graduation...there was a bit of chaos trying to get 22 five year olds to sit still while waiting for their name to be called.  It was a fun night and one that came way too fast!!  Some other fun we recently had was a trip to Tennessee.  The kids and I packed up for a weekend trip to visit Grandma and Grandpa C.  We made it to a park on one of the first days there, and then the rain moved in and we spent the rest of the trip hanging out at the house.

 The weekend after the trip to TN was another big moment for Ava, she had her first t-ball game.  Unfortunately, it was over 90 degrees, so it was a bit steamy.

 Ava handled the heat well and did a great job.

 She played against the red team which included her good friend Isabelle, so they spent a fair amount of the game catching up and comparing ribbons on their shirts!

 Speaking of good friends, our old neighbors came over for a play date this morning, and even though it was only a year ago that they moved, we couldn't believe how much has changed, especially since we met 4.5 years ago.  We went from two to six kids and Ava still considers Sydney one of her closest friends.  I can't believe how quickly they are growing up!
