We also got a new addition for our backyard. The people before us left a play set that was getting pretty old and hazardous. We had the whole thing removed and instead of getting a new set, we decided to get a trampoline! This is a huge development for our kids. They were always trying to go next door and jump on our dear neighbors' trampoline. We must be getting old and soft, because we caved in. The kids are loving it.
Grandpa & Grandma Green came out for a visit. It was great timing because they got to go to Mary's 1st grade performance and Megan's and Mary's violin recital. It was so fun to have them here. Sam had a ball playing Candy Land with them and they were more than patient with his frequent suggestions that they play AGAIN! It worked out great for me that they were here because we ended up with four (yes, four) cases of strep throat in this house. Fortunately, Grandpa & Grandma were not among the victims, but unfortunately I was. Megan, Mary, Sam and I all shared it. This is the first time in the history of our family that we have shared strep (and we have had it plenty). Anyway, Mary & Sam were not that sick, but Megan and I were. We were both pretty much out of it for two solid days. Thank you Grandma & Grandpa for being here and taking over so I could be sick!
Here we all are with our respective antibiotics.The last event I have to report on is a big one. My baby graduated from preschool! I can't believe it - I swear he was just born! I have had a child in preschool since 2000, but now no more. Sam is my first one not to graduate from Northside Drive Baptist Preschool . Our move to Illinois from Atlanta made the commute a little too long. So Sam has attended the Engle Junction Preschool at the Lindenhurst Park District and he has been happy there. He loved his teachers and he is ready for kindergarten - but I am not. When August comes, I am going to be a sad mom! We are very proud of out little graduate!
I swear, he was just born! Where did the time go?

It's going to be me in two years...I don't want my babies to grow up either! Your kids are so beautiful!:)
I ran into Jan at the pool on Memorial day and I'm so jealous they get to come visit you!
Ok, it seriously took me longer than I should admit to realize that it was Hannah in the first picture. And Sam, whoa, how did that happen??
We can't wait to see you!!
xoxo
ok, I have decided you really are trying to kill me. I can not believe that is Hannah in that first picture. She really can not be old enough to be on the track team. Where has the time gone? I am so happy to see that she has taken to running. I am sure you are about to burst. What a great thing you can do together! Sammy is so dang cute in his cap. Didn't you just have him like yesterday? How can we come up with a plan to slow time down?
I am not sure she has "taken to" running - she has not gone a step since the season ended. But she is thinking about cross country in the fall so it could not have been all bad!
why didn't you call your compassionate service leader and dear friend to bring you ice cream when you were sick? I'm very offended! We want to see pictures of you and Rich on the trampoline-jumping!
