preschool class of 2017

Last day in carline.  Yep, I might have shed a tear.

I got to sub in Chloe's class during the full rehearsal for end of year and graduation!

Since I was her teacher for the day, I got to shake hands as they called each name.  I really enjoyed that, I love this class!❤

Today's car-riders : Landen, Couper, Chloe
we invited the whole class to Burger King, we had these three and Alice, Josh, Maddox, and Ella Kate.  Fun fun group of kiddos!
[Landen was my responisibilty since his mom was working.  Couper's mom met us there, but I felt so bad about him not riding with us last week to CFA, that I wanted to invite him this time!]


their first fidget spinners, the craze begins!





KidzBop Kids concert!
Abby's birthday present  :)

she lit up when she saw Kayla!




bye-bye big pink cast!  4weeks

a short purple one, hooray

Ryan's litterbug class project, "Winner"
my favorite part is that he dug through the recycle bin to find the Gatorade bottle from his complete game pitching win :)


Ryan's game-tying double, yep, he's doing a victory move :) 
the next batter got the winning RBI.
the Braves came back with six runs to win by one!  It was a great game!
After going 3-11 in regular season, this put them up 2-0 in the tournament.

Cooper, AJ, Ryan, Zach, Dylan
a come-back win calls for ice cream!

Happy birthday Daddy!!!!!
Sweet Escapes on the way home from baseball.



first cool day with the cast - she wasn't keen on trying to get a jacket over the cast, so I cut a long sleeve shirt for her


Your daily dab compliments of Chlo!
She's doing great, we joke that her cast has super powers, it's not slowing her down one bit. She had another ortho follow up this morning and everything looked perfect, doc was very happy with her progress.   **
and check out the spider eyes on her socks!


a thank you gift for the ambulance that took care of Chloe.  they gave her a Bugs Bunny stuffed animal, so we thought this would be a fun way to pay it forward.

that ambulance on the left was our ride!  
Unfortunately the EMT that accompanied us wasn't there, I had hoped to thank him in person, he was great.




Kerrigan, Chloe, Couper, and Josh at preschool fun day.  
Josh's mom and I volunteered at the turtle bowling station.


 Seth's movie theater birthday party!
Ryan, Jackson, Abby, Nickolas


Josh, Alice, and Chlo-Chlo
we went to Chick-fil-a after preschool
Couper and all the mommies met us there, it's just fun to ride in Ms. Amy's van! :)
speaking of - Couper's mom picked him up, but he knew he was going with us, and tried really hard to get in my car too!  His mom and I felt so bad for him, so you'll notice in the May album that he rode with us to BK!



Ryan pitched this entire game and he did awesome!!  It was one of only three wins on the season.  I love watching him doing something he loves.

Add to his Win a couple of good hits, and he earned the game ball for sure!



gotta love a nice rain :)




Oh how I miss these lazy Friday morning snuggles.  
Can you tell that Maya is hugging my arm?!!

mid- April 2017

 
Thursday - 4.13.17 - preschool Easter egg hunt!
still adjusting to the cast, I think she was afraid to bend over?  she was very excited about using this chomper!

kids are adaptive and resilient!

Josh, Alice, Chlo, Annsley and Couper
 I love Chloe's sweet class full of friends!

[her shoes match her cast!]



Saturday night Easter service


Easter sunday morning hike!
we had this great plan - attend and serve Saturday night, serve our normal Sunday and then hike, so that we could go to our favorite pizza place when they opened at noon.  Never thinking that they would be closed for Easter!  oh well :)


Easter afternoon egg hunt at the Conleys'


a long Easter weekend calls for a Sunday afternoon movie!  And Mommy finally finished Chloe's new critter.  
This is #3 if you're counting.  #1 was lost on vacation and #2 was literally falling apart.  so glad she loves them!


as Grandpa says, fastest way to get to the bigs!  Ryan loves catching.  I think it's because he's in on the action.  And he's got a great mind for the game and can see the whole field.






hamming it up at another ortho check.
she's doing great and healing perfectly, doc's been very happy.
a good doc's appt calls for Starbucks to celebrate?!  [and even better it was a free gift from church for serving on Easter, thanks :)]


and since we're in Cumming anyways, we stopped at Fowler park for a picnic lunch, a run for mommy, some walking time for Chloe, and then the playground.
"I can do it myself!"  This cast isn't slowing her down!  And we've finally mastered keeping the sling on and in the right place, hooray for safety pins.

we came home to a gift from Macedonia baseball on our front porch!
