Memorial Day

We spent Memorial Day at GG's lake--what a fun day!  Lucy and Ella spent the entire day in the sandbox and then ended up catching some lunkers while fishing with Daddy.  Notice the band-aids near Lucy's eyes...she insisted that she had owies there and the only thing we could do stop her huge fit was to put on a couple of band-aids.  She left them on pretty much the entire day.

This relaxing day at the lake was a great way to kick off the summer!

Lucy's Graduation

As we were headed to Madison for Uncle Paul's graduation, Lucy asked Greg and I, "What's a graduation?"  We said it was a ceremony where you celebrated the ending of something, like school.  She said, "I'm finishing 3K...will I have a graduation?"  We hadn't heard anything at that point about a graduation, so we told her she probably wouldn't have one.  She was SO disappointed.

One day shortly after that, I picked her up from school and she was absolutely beaming.  It turns out Lucy and her classmates were having a graduation ceremony after all!  She talked about it the whole way home, planning to make phone calls and send out invitations.  I wish I would have video taped the calls she made--she had a script all figured out and was completely adorable.  She worked really hard on her invitations and helped me make cookies for her class.

Here she is making her entrance...

Singing "Let There Always Be"

The lyrics are

Let there always be sunshine

Let there always be blue skies

Let there always be mommies/daddies/families/friends

Let there always be me

So cute!

Thanks for the yummy cake, Auntie Julie!

Lucy, we are so proud of you!

Boards Breakfast

The day that Greg was leaving for Louisville to take his oral boards, the girls and I surprised him with a special Good Luck Breakfast.  The girls decorated his chair and we made an egg scrambler, OJ, coffee, and Daddy's favorite--yogurt, fruit, and granola parfaits.

To welcome him home the next day, we hung high-fives all over the house.

We found out a few days later that he passed...we are SO proud of him and all he has accomplished!  We love you, Dr. Daddy!

Uncle Bill & Lindsey

Uncle Bill and Lindsey brought Juno over to play in the backyard...there was lots of swinging and side walk chalk.  Thanks for a fun visit, guys!

Wilinski Boys' Baseball

We had a great time watching the boys play ball, playing on the playground, and having a picnic lunch complete with baseball cupcakes.  We are proud of you, boys!
