Snapshots

 I finally downloaded photos from my phone and realized how behind I was on documenting some things, here is a great big photo dump!  Allison & Annie had their last swim lesson together for awhile, we're taking a break for the summer (although they both are doing some group lessons).  They got to wear shark vests and swim in the big pool!  They both are also now working through Preschool Level 3 - just need to learn to side breathe!

 Allison & I went on a lunch date one Saturday after she got her haircut.  We had a great time coloring and chatting and enjoying food Daddy can't eat!

 Allison's attempt at using chop sticks!  We took the girls to Kim Hoa's (a favorite Vietnamese restaurant) after swimming one afternoon and they both ate tons of food!

 Heidi wearing her special dress from the Grindles, that Elmer sent her when she was born.

 Little helper.  Or trouble maker.  Depends who you ask!

 Jodi & I are still doing Sunday afternoon adventures - now that the brakes are fixed on my mountain bike and her derailleur is fixed we can actually do fun rides - maybe someday we'll actually make it to the top of Peavy in the short time we have!

 This girl loves my biking stuff and trying to use it all!

 She also has been into scooters since watching Allison ride around on her new one.  Thankfully Allison's old one is pretty stable - so much for getting rid of it!

 Allison had her pre-school graduation last week (even though she won't leave until September when Kindergarten starts, many of the kids are doing other programs for the summer).  It included a three act play.  In Spanish.  About three bears and three sisters.  She was the middle sister, Rica.  And yes, it was as entertaining as it sounds!

 She has adored all her teachers, but especially teacher Lindsey!

 Allison went to her friend, Olivia's birthday party this past weekend (at the pool again!).  It is really fun to watch her play with her school friends, these kids play so well together.  And a little bittersweet realizing most of these kiddos are moving on to other things at the end of June and they will all be in different elementary schools in the fall!

 The Heidi-bug enjoyed a donut on Father's Day while we waited for Mark and Allison in Allison's Sunday School program that they put on for the Dads.

 These two are finally starting to notice each other, Lauren has the cutest way of saying 'Heidi.'  And she was really excited to get to 'help' feed Heidi!

Last but not least, I had a birthday this week!  Whew!  Natalie was kind enough to make me a cake to make sure we would celebrate.  Allison & I enjoyed it, Mark couldn't eat it and in a very strange way Heidi refused to try it!
