Catch Up!

I haven't been on here in awhile....we are keeping busy with end of the school year things and beginning of summer projects! Dance Recital mode is in full force! We had pictures 2 weeks ago and they have been practicing hard at their Monkey dance. The recital is in 2 weeks and Molly is very excited to dance on stage! Even more exciting is that the Tuesday after the recital, she gets to pick up her Uncle Andy at the airport. He has been serving in Afghanistan since November and she is very excited to see him and give him a big hug! She has some other surprises up her sleeve for his arrival, but I can't say too much in case he is reading this! I'll make sure to have a post up here on his welcome home day!

The other big event is our landscaping projects we have tackled already this year. I must say I am very proud of my husband and all of his hard work and ambition. Despite trying to prepare his students for the AP exam, he completed a HUGE project in the front yard. Our landscape around the walkway, the mailbox, and in front of the windows look awesome and it is so nice to see when we come home! Molly and I helped dig out all the river rock and pour fresh dirt. The final product was amazing and I love it. We also poured an addition to our small patio in the backyard. It started off just being a small amount we wanted poured, but ended up, of course, being a lot bigger. Again, I'm very happy with the end results. Molly now has a place to ride her bikes and our grill and patio table have a home! It's nice to sit and watch Molly play on her playground.

I have 3 more days left of school and Keith has 8. We are so very much looking forward to this summer and doing nothing but hanging out as a family and enjoying our life together.
