The day that you had so much fun with your cousins who with Aunt Jamie came to visit for the weekend!  There is something so special when you get together and you have such a blast with them! We swam at the Monon center and then had take-out dinner and you enjoyed the slip and slide!  We can't wait for them to come visit "Camp Miller" in July!

The day of your last of 1st and 3rd grade!  You are both ready for summer but have had great years with wonderful teachers!  Isabelle was full of tears when she got home after saying good-bye to hers.

The evening we said our prayers with Daddy who was at work.  We don't always get the opportunity to do face time with him but are so lucky when he gets a chance "in person" to say goodnight.

 The evening you dance and sang in the pouring rain.

 The day you danced in the afternoon sun

 This reminds me of a rock album cover!  :)

The day we celebrated with friends the end of Memorial Day with a trip to Victory field to see the Indianapolis Indians play.

 The day your friend invited you to come for a mani/pedi and an all day playdate at their pool and house after church.  When you came home to tell us about it you would have thought you won the lottery!

The day of the first runs down the slip and slide.  It looks like way more fun on the box!  :)

The day of your evening race, lane 4.

141.365 The last day of preschool

You had a great year with friends and learned a lot too.  I asked your teachers if you were ready for pre-K and they said that you could share, sit still and listen to books and follow direction.  We forget these simple skills that are so important as we drill the alphabet, make them write and recite that I used to think got them so much farther in these early years.

 The day you presented your giant panda research at the specialty fair.  You worked so hard at learning about your animal and did such a great job on your diorama and poster.  I was so impressed with all of your 3rd grade peers on what a fantastic job they all did.

Its "show off" day at Interactive swim school.  All three of you love the water and enjoy swimming!  Allie is learning stroke development and endurance and Juliette is a bit better at sinking then swimming but tries so hard!  I don't think it will be long until she will be swimming circles around me!

The day that I was bombarded with morning hugs and kisses, snuggles and cuteness.  The day that you remind me how big you are and at the same time tell me that you want to be a baby when you grow up.  The days that your grammar makes us all laugh when you ask, "Where you are?" or say, "I want to hold you".  You call he a her and she a him and almost always put your shoes on the wrong feet.  I just want to bottle up all this sweetness when you make my heart flip just by giving me a giggle.

The days that a washcloth and a table to clean keeps you far more occupied then a room full of toys.

137.365

The day you played the game of "Life" in your pajamas intent on a career and collecting children to fill your cars.  Juliette proudly exclaimed that she was a "rock star".  A hour later, Allie made her own version of the game placing paper with things to collect all over the house while they rolled a die to take that many steps to the next stage of "Life".

136.365

 The day you wowed us with sonatinas and duets.  You have both come so far in a year and played with such poise and grace. 

135.365

The day you said you were going to the very top.

134.365

 The day that we went to your "Poetry and Punch" where we were escorted to our seats, given punch and cookies and had a great performance by you and your class reciting various poems.  Such a fun afternoon!

 The day that you discovered matching freckles (or spreckles like Juliette says) in a similar spot on your hands.

 so much sister love!
