Madison finished her second year of Happy Hands Preschool! One more year to go as she misses the Kindergarten cut off by 2 days! I am just happy to get her home with me for 1 more year!
She also wrapped up a great 1st soccer season (see slideshow on side). She has proved to be a natural. She was hesitant at first and would stop if anyone would come up to her on the field. Finally, Donovan (the coach!) called her over to the side of the field and told she was allowed to steal the ball! Turns out she was afraid to because in practice he had told them not to take the ball from each other! She thought she wasn't supposed to take it from anyone! She ended up being quite a force out on the field.
Donovan was honored in Chicago. He was inducted into the Honor Society, I forget the exact name (so does he). We weren't able to go to Chicago as a family for the ceremony, but Madison went with him! They had a great day at North Park University! You can see all the pictures Madison took at the bottom slide show!
Genevieve, with her adventureous spirit got her first black eye! I am sure the first of many and of course turned 11 months old! She started walking at about 10 1/2 months as well! Yay, Genevieve!
Adina finished up her school year with an Alphabet count down. The last 26 days of school were represented by an alphabet letter. A couple of the fun days were:Disco Day: (Adina the Hippie Chic)
Very Fun Field Day:
Wacky Hair day: It is amazing how long Kool-aid will stay in the hair! The picture doesn't quite do it justice. But they both had red and blue hair. There is still a tint of red and blue as we scoot into July! We used Madison as a guinea pig and did her hair first to see if it would work! She is a very good sport.
May also brings Beautiful Flowers!! These were taken at a park we call "Butterfly Park!" Unfortunately, Adina was in school and by the weekend the flowers were done blooming, so we only got Madison and Genevieve. Next year I'll get all 3! I hope.

Love seeing all your new pictures!! Tell Madison that her pictures are really good!!
I miss you all so much!
How fun!!! I like your "butterfly park" - reminds me of our "deer park" back in Washington. We saw a deer there once and from then on it was the deer park. : )
