I finally remembered to upload the Spring Break pictures of Luke's first time at the beach! As you can see....he loved it! What made me remember was how Emmy asked out of nowhere today if we could go back to the beach someday :) Yes, sweet girl, we definitely will!!!
Tonight, Josh and I headed to Edgewood Country Club for a recognition banquet to honor teachers from around Madison County who were nominated by their peers for the Max Beigh Award. This award demonstrates excellence in education and to just be nominated is an extreme honor. And I am excited to share that Josh's peers nominated him to represent Lapel High School! What a wonderful night, I was so proud to stand by your side Josh...as I always am! I love you sweetheart! Congratulations! ;)
Since golf season is now in full swing (no pun intended) Josh's weeknights and Saturdays are extremely busy. So needless to say, we absolutely treasure our time with him. And this past weekend he completely surprised us by planning an impromptu trip to Cincinnati for a Cubs game! I think all 4 of us needed that extra day away together, and we truly had a wonderful time. Thank you Josh for always putting us first even when you are pulled in so many different but worthy directions. We love you, as Emmy would say......all the way to the North Pole and back ;)
This Spring, Emmy is finally old enough to play in our local soccer league! She had asked about playing over a year ago so we weren't sure if she would still be interested after all this time, but she emphatically said yes!! Today was her first game and it was also the coldest day we have had in weeks! But she was such a trooper and had so much fun! We love you Emmy Jane!!!
For Luke's first Easter the Easter Bunny did a few things differently! ;) He left a trail of candy eggs leading to some yummy surprises and then hid Emmy and Luke's baskets for them to find! We then went to church and then later in the day headed to Grammy & Gramps' house for dinner and an egg hunt :) Happy Easter Everyone!!!
Emmy and Luke both have been so excited for the warmer weather to arrive...and it's finally here to stay!!! Tonight Josh hung up the swings to the playset and this year we had a new one to add...a tractor swing for Luke!!! Thank you Papa & Grandma, he absolutely loves it!!!
For our last two days, we enjoyed just spending time together. :) We all played putt-putt, which Emmy had never done before and loved. Her and Colt even got to hold an alligator!! Josh and I got to have a date night, as did Justin and Whitney, when Chuck and Sue offered to watch all 5 of the kids for us. And on our last night we all gathered up on the balcony to watch the sunset. Thank you Chuck & Sue for making such a wonderful trip possible!! We love you Grammy & Gramps!!
