Week+ update

We are enjoying spring/summer During the week we have been busy with the park, pool/yard. I also started doing crafts again every day with Abbi and Rian.On Friday we got confirmation from my Dr we are expecting again. Our Lucky last will be due - February 2008. On Saturday we went to Ontelaunee Orchard to pick strawberry's. Of course I took tons of pictures. Fathers day we went to Knobels for the day. Spent the day at the water park/ pool and went on rides in the evening. I ( April ) turned another year older on June 20th Russ and our children surprised me with dinner on my birthday. I received a beautiful flower birthday cake from Royers. Today is the first official day of summer and we spent the morning at the park and took a nature hike.

Week in review

Week in review

We opened our pool for the summer. Kids are enjoying spending time in the pool. Antoinette and Rusty had finials at school all week and got dismissed early Monday-Thursday. We enjoyed eating our lunch on the patio this week. Rian started bringing home all his work since the beginning of the year on Monday. I've had an emotional week. I'm having a difficult time with how fast life is going .Thursday was the last day of school, so school is over for the summer. Rian brought home a few awards and a Kindergarten diploma on Thursday. He will be officially a first grader in August. Rusty made honor roll. He was also very proud of himself for achieving a 98 in math class. He will start 8th grade in August. Antoinette made honor roll again and is doing well. She will be attending AP arts in August. Saturday we took the little ones to the Zoo with friends. Sunday we went shopping and purchased a new toy for the patio for Robert. We played outside till we had another bad storm. Anni had a sleep over Sunday night.
