caroline's last day of preschool was wed, may 21. i cannot believe this year is already over!! they had a fun play day full of water...sprinklers, slip n' slide and a jumpy house. they also played with sidewalk chalk and bubbles and topped it off with pizza and ice cream. how could you ask for more??? caroline has had an awesome time with all her little friends and loved her teacher mrs. perle. she would have gone to school every day if she could. her best little buddy has been lilly...they get along so well and love playing together. she also has had several little male admirers in her class. namely, logan and rohan. both their moms told me how much their little guys are going to miss caroline. i overheard rohan saying he was going to marry her :) mrs. perle told me to get ready b/c this was my future! lord help me.

we had susanna dedicated the day after caroline's recital on sunday, april 27 and it was so special. we have been blessed beyond belief with our girls and we desire to raise them in a way that pleases and honors the Lord. we love our pastor and he did such a great job with suanna and she was a sweetie. she just grinned and tried to hold his hand the whole time. thank you, Lord, for our precious girls, our amazing extended family and our wonderful church family. after church, everyone came over to our house for lunch and to play. all the kids had a blast and played until they couldn't play any more! a huge thank you to our families for making the trip here to celebrate with us. we love you all so much!!

caroline had her first rectial on saturday night, april 26 and did so wonderful!! she was beyond excited about dancing on stage and has loved ballet from her very first class in september. i wasn't sure if she would really follow along well with the routines, but she did fairly well. she looked at her friend emma beside her and just followed along. ALL of our family was here (susanna was dedicated the next morning) and we had an awesome time with everyone in our neck of the woods. that never happens and we loved every minute of it!! caroline has talked about being onstage since the recital and can't wait to start ballet back up again after the summer. needless to say, she doesn't take after her mommy in this...i lasted one year and hated every minute of it :) thank you to our family for being there to make her first recital so very special!
