Right before we left for the trip Hannah had her preschool graduation. She did awesome! She had memorized her part really well and performed her songs and dances great. She was so cute! I can't believe my baby girl is growing up so fast. Here are some photos of her graduation.

The morning after we returned from China JJ participated in the school dance festival. The forecast called for rain but it held off long enough for all the grades to do thier dances and then started to dump! JJ did awesome with his dance - especially when it was time to breakdance! We are so grateful for all the great teachers at his school who made this year such an fun year. We are especially grateful to JJ's teacher Mrs. McCann who was a wonderful teacher and made JJ feel so special and loved. We made it through a school year with absolutely NO behavior problems. No one but Lance and I fully understand what a big deal that is but needless to say we are extremely proud of JJ and grateful to his teacher, as we know, she made a big difference in JJ's life.

This week has been swim lessons for all the kids every day so it has been pretty busy. Asher and I are doing parent/child swim lessons and he is loving it - his favorite thing to do is to climb out of the pool on his own and then jump to me in the water. He doesn't mind going completely under the water which is half the battle with swimming at this age. JJ's teacher came up to me on Thursday to tell me that JJ is doing really well in level 2. She has him doing some level 3 skills too! She says that he is her favorite student and is always well behaved and listens really well. This is music to a mom's ears! Hannah has never been very afraid of the water and always done pretty well in swim lessons if she was willing to listen and follow directions. She is still having a bit of a hard time with that but for a 4 year old she is doing pretty good.
JJ started his new level 2 gymnastics class. His class is now an hour and a half and he really works up a sweat! Lance is coaching JJ's T-ball team and had his first game today. It is rather hilarious to watch the kids as they try to remember which way to run and where to throw the ball. It is a great experiance, though, for JJ to be a part of a team.
We are definatly trying to cram as much as we can into this summer! Hope your summer is full of fun and family!
