School's Out!

Sam finished his last day of Serra Preschool this past Monday. He says he is ready to have more time with his Legos this summer and with his mama (ah what a sweetie). For me, I get all weepy picturing the first day that I dropped him off, such a little guy and now he has grown so much just as all of his friends there have. I realize that we will probably see very little of these Serra friends because most will be going to different schools next year. It is during these big transitions that make me stop and appreciate how lucky I am to share most of my days with our beautiful boys. Many experienced parents have told me, "It really is such a short time." For me, a very special time.




Sam and his teacher, the lovely Mrs. Donaldson. She's a lover for sure.


All the kids got a special treat with their certificates and of course Evan needed one too.





Preparing ourselves for summer break, we went camping up to Lake Arrowhead this past weekend. It is located in the San Bernardino Mountains east of here, less than two hours away if it weren't for the millions of people between here and there. Once we were settled at our campsite we had a wonderful time. Sam and Evan loved their freedom to roam.





The boys showing me their battle stance.




Too cold for swimming...but Sam got convinced to take a dip.


Get me out of here!



We're are looking forward to our time in Idaho this August. xoxo

What a big boy Sam is! must be colder in Cal too. Idaho is strangely very cool lately, not even seventy degrees in June! Can't wait for August too! Love and miss you all!
