In the fall Abby will be starting Kindergarten. I can’t believe how big she is getting. Sometimes it feels like she was just born and yet she has a 2 year old brother and another one on the way. She is getting to be quite the little lady.

At the beginning of June her school had graduation day for the Pre-K class. All the classes participated in the ceremonies except for the babies. They even had Zach’s class sing a song. Mostly it was the teachers signing with the kids trying to play with all the decorations that were around the stage. It got better as the classes got older.

Abby’s class was the last and wore the graduation caps and gowns. They looked so nice altogether. They sang 2 songs. I am not sure the name of either song, but one was about various fast food restaurants and the other was about Kindergarten here we come and what they learned in Pre-K. Then the teachers handed out diplomas to each child. It was a very nice ceremony.

Afterwards they had cake, cookies, and drinks for the kids. They were also handing out some small gifts, which were very nice. They gave each child a Clifford book about school. Abby’s teacher gave each of her kids, there are 2 Pre-K classes, a small bucket of sidewalk chalk and a lollipop.

Since it was Abby’s day we asked her what she wanted to do after the ceremony to celebrate her graduation and she chose to go to Taco Bell for dinner and play at the play area in the mall.

Each year we go to my brother-in-laws to celebrate our niece and nephew’s birthday over Memorial Weekend. This year our nephew Dorian was just finishing up his first year of school. He was a big Kindergartener. Lydia is doing great. She doesn’t show any signs of after effects of being a preemie. Way to go both of you!

It was an interesting start to the party this year. Rob went to move the basketball hoop and as he did he found black snake curled up on his driveway. Luckily, one of his neighbors was willing to pick the snake up and take it back to the woods. No further signs of snakes were reported that day.

The rest of the weekend was uneventful, though my allergies were really bad. With being pregnant and not taking any medicine for allergies this year I was becoming miserable with being outside. Sneezing and blowing my nose for most of the day was exhausting. Finally, I had to ask Erin if she had any meds I could take. Luckily she did. It helped, but at times I was still miserable.

See the rest fun we had.

Abby got a camera for her 4th birthday and loves to take it out whenever someone else has their camera out. We just cleared her memory card as it was full since we hadn’t emptied it since November. Here are some pictures from Abby’s eyes.
