The month of May has flown by! I remember thinking when I got Alex's school calendar for May that his graduation day seemed so far away. Well, time flew as it always does, and Alex is now officially a Kindergartener. His graduation ceremony was on Wednesday. It was very well organized and a very proud moment for Clarence and I. Our baby graduated from preschool. Our baby. I wasn't as sentimental then as I thought I would be. It really hit me today as this was Alex's last day at preschool. He will be spending the summer with the lady who used to keep him, and then he will start Kindergarten at Isaac's school in August. I did ok dropping Alex off at school this morning, but this afternoon was bit harder. I don't remember being so sentimental on Isaac's last day. I think I am sad because Alex is a little sad. He told me he is going to miss his friends. But, I know he is also excited about going to his brother's school and making new friends. When we left the daycare today, he was sad. But, by the time we got to Isaac's school to pick him up, he was super excited about his new school and getting to ride the bus next year. That helps a momma's heart. I don't want Alex to be sad about the friends he's leaving; instead, I want him to be excited about getting older, going to big school, making new friends and learning a lot. I think he is, and it is going to be a new adventure! Two school age children? I'm not old enough for this! :)
Here are some random pictures I have taken since my last post, and pictures of graduation and Alex's last day of preschool.

Alex and Sierra again. They are soccer buddies too. They both play soccer for the same league. Fun times!
Other changes are coming too; I will be starting a new job in June. It is going to be a great career opportunity, and I am really looking forward to it. I am so thankful to work for a large company that offers such great growth opportunities.
We have a busy weekend planned. Soccer season is over, but that doesn't mean things are going to slow down. The first part of our summer is going to be busy too. This weekend we have a birthday party to go to and the Renaissance Festival. Next weekend it's off to Selmer for Decoration Day, then CMA Fest, then a family wedding and Father's Day, and then my Mother's Birthday. Whew!
I just realized too that I didn't post pictures from the boys' last soccer games of the season. I'll have to have another post just for that.
After our busy weekend, I hope to have more pictures to share. Happy Memorial Day weekend!
