Transitions

Currently our lives seem to be a state of big transitions and lots of changes.

1. The obvious..Spring is turning to Summer.  We have had many of days that have already been hot, but now the pools are open which are calling our names.  And summer picnics. And lots and lots of time outdoors.

2. Makenna is enjoying her last days of preschool and will graduate this Friday.  (gulp..)

picnic lunch with friends is the best

3.. She will be starting at the local grammar school in the fall and since her preschool is in the town next to ours (Naperville), her preschool friends are going to different schools. So come fall she will be making all new friends.  Makenna, the social butterfly that she is, of course has no problem with that.  However, I'm sure will miss some of the girls she really adores.

4.  Our lovely UK friends are moving back to well, the UK. Waaa.. this makes us very sad and I know all four of us are going to miss all five of them so much but I also know that we will meet again, in their land as well as back here in the States.  So when is our two family vacation going to be J & A?

5. Rylan is certainly all boy and has very little baby left.  He still wants to be held and carried on occasion (which I treasure because I know those days are numbered) and he still needs his mommy snuggles but this photo tells it all.  Hello skinny arms and legs. Hello boyhood.  #timepleaseslowdown

6. Teeth are loose and even the adult teeth are already coming in behind the loose tooth in MC's mouth.  I'm not sure this little girl will have a toothless grin just yet because that adult one is getting so big already. (See it?)

7. And some of my favorite things about this time of year...gardens are growing and flowers are blooming which always puts a smile on my face.

Happy Almost Summer.  Will be back soon with the graduate.
