Graduation Day

The girls "graduated" from kindergarten at Meadowlark Elementary, marking the end of our stint in Salina, Kansas. They were sad -- we were elated! I was sad the year went by so fast, but very glad we could get back home. They will really miss their teachers and friends, but we are excited to start the next chapter in our lives. This has been a very hard year for all of us. Oh... you might notice Maiki missing on this post. She was in her room being very dramatic and wouldn't let Mike take her picture. Yes, Maiki - I will be filling every boyfriend in on this one!

The Kindergarten Musical...

The girls were in their first musical - "Everything Grows" performed at Meadowlark Elementary last Thursday. They did a very good job, and were super cute in their outfits they bought with Daddy. :)

Maiki Loses a Tooth...

Well, after weeks of wiggling and pushing and trying to convince Mike and I that it could come out "anytime"... Maiki finally lost her first tooth. (Okay, it took a little convincing from a pair of plyers and a big fuzzy headed guy...) She was thrilled to find the replacement of a dollar for the tooth when she woke up this morning, and couldn't wait to call Aunt Shawn! Of course, it was 7:30 a.m., and for those of you who know Shawn, that was a pretty funny thought!!

Monday Madness....

Monday once again, in the lovely Salina, Kansas.... I had to share the latest of the little man's escapades at the sitter. She got some great shots of him licking the play pen. He's such a goof.

Still no progress on the house. Hard not to get frustrated, but I'm really trying.

National Champions!!!!!

Yes, the Jayhawks finally did it!! 20 years after Danny and the Miracles, Mario and the Miracles pull it off at the last second. Needless to say, we really wish we were home..... It's just not the same celebrating amidst a sea of Nebraska and K-State fans!!

We've had more people looking at the house so hopefully soon. We are ready to be back celebrating the victory!!!
