Summertime List #2 = Fresh Peaches
Owen, here is what you think about the peaches we just bought, "I wish I could just eat the air"! OBH, we completely agree-wowzers they smell great!

Another One Bites The Dust
Two baby teeth have been collected by the T.F. The Tooth Fairy brought you a coupon for your tooth. Tomorrow, Owen, you get a breakfast date with Daddy!
I guess it means your getting bigger. Sniff, Sniff...
Love you!

mimi and grandpa traversed the country to see us
Dear Mimi and Grandpa,
Thank you for coming! Thank you for our dates, gardening, celebrating Easter together, for playing and for the sweet treats. We can't wait to see you in GA this summer. Love you both!
Good work, Owen and Grandpa on planting the garden!
Katie,
Mimi and Grandpa, helped you buy your first pet...a Beta fish named, Princess. Needless to say, you were thrilled!
We definitely needed to decorate individual Easter bags for the big Easter Egg Hunt.
It was a joy to have family here for the holiday!
Kiddos, I'm sure your Daddy can as well, but I remember each Easter, Grandpa hiding lots and lots of eggs at Granma Gerrie's house. The search was always thick as your aunts and uncles and 2nd cousins hunted! I think you will agree that Grandpa is one tricky Easter Egg hider!
I love this photo of Aunt Julie. She's always ready for a good competition!
Kubb anyone? Add it to our list of Fun Yard Games!
Owen, you and Uncle Tommy were pros at this game!
We only need to photo shop Daddy-who had to work (and the Herr's gang) into this photo!
This is a favorite pose of Grandpa's. What's not to love...in a cozy chair with a good book.
And this one? Mimi is at home...doing an artsy project with you two. Katie, Mimi found this baby doll crib and has been saving it just for you for a few months now. LOVE.
Comics anyone? Another sweet memory of Grandpa and you, kids.
"Grandpa, ALWAYS reads the comics to us."
Mimi's at it again-teaching school...doing school with the ads. Pretty good idea-I'm storing it away for 2nd grade!
Thanks for teaching school, Madame Mimi! Your solar system unit was a highlight of our spring!
A Celebration of Katie in Photos
Thank you for celebrating with us, Catie Beth-thank you for spending all day and night with your BBF celebrating 8-and we can't wait to go ice skating! Uncle Tommy & Julie, the Beavers, and all the family and friends that sent messages or called, we are thankful for you-P A R T Y I N G with us from afar. Katie, you were loved well and it was "Awesome" in your own words.
Katie, you and Daddy got to attend Cinderella at the ballet!
Uncle Tommy and Julie made their last trip to Raleigh to celebrate!
The doll babies-Kit & Karis-have new bathing suits. :)
Do you see Uncle Tommy giving you hints about your new chess board???

You are EIGHT sweet girl!
Dearest Pippers,
Your Daddy and I can't believe you are eight-the years have simply flown by! God has sustained and grown us both! You are a beautiful girl and we are so blessed to be your parents.
You are still our huggy, holding hand girl.
You still love any food we make.
You and your brother are still best friends.
You love Jesus.
You love to do art and create a party.
You will dance for hours and pick out your favorite songs too.
You successfully finished your first year of homeschool and 1st grade was a success.
You are contemplating either keeping your hair long or cutting it short so it is easier to take care of each day.
You often don't remember to do your chores, but are slowly taking responsibility for your things. You do a few chores around the house such as the dishwasher, folding clothes, wiping down the counter in the bathroom and vacuuming a few spaces in the house.
Spelling is your least favorite subject.
You do enjoy math and you adore being read to...and your reading is coming right along-mysteries are a favorite as well as princess stories.
You want pjs just like me which I love.
You still aren't a late sleeper, but you need about 11 hours of sleep to wake up in a happy mood.
Your favorite toys are all your baby doll and your jump rope...though a close second is the fort out back behind the tall bushes and the hammock.
You still are tall for your age.
And your biggest thrill of being eight is, no more booster seat.
Sweet Katie Grace, we love you with all our hearts. And our prayer is that you would know more and more of Jesus, that we would love you better and that this next year would be the best yet. LOVE YOU, Mommy, Daddy and Owen
