365 ~ 2015: Day 177
The boys had the chance to try out rock climbing for the first time at a friends birthday party today. They didn't do too bad. David made it up the highest and Evan barely left the ground. They have Mom's "fraidy cat" genes, I guess! I wouldn't have even put the harness on, so they did better than I would have!

365 ~ 2015: Day 174
Shaun has been composing over the last couple of months. He spent his last few lessons fine tuning his piece with his teacher. Yesterday when I asked him what he worked on during his first summer lesson, he said he was working on "Dark Beauty". It wasn't until this morning that I realized it was HIS piece! He titled it and it's a very fitting title. Perhaps you are looking at the next John Williams!

Happy Father's Day!
Yesterday we celebrated the Dads in the family! We grilled steak and chicken and I made some lobster sliders for a special treat! It's nice to have an excuse to get together with family and eat good food!

365 ~ 2015: Day 170
On Thursday David played in the championship game for his baseball league. His team finished the regular season in first place, but was unable to get that last and final win for the championship. There was a moment of sadness, but they brushed it off and went out to shake hands and congratulate the winning team. His coach, all season long, stressed what it was to show good sportsmanship and the boys took it to heart.
There were runner up trophies passed out and his face lit up! He ran over to us and yelled "MY FIRST TROPHY!". He worked hard all season long, learning from his coach and the older kids on his team. It was a lot of fun to watch.

Schools Out for Summer!
On Monday my very last baby "graduated" from preschool! There isn't a graduation ceremony at their school but they did have a party and a nice little celebration that included a certificate! He is beyond excited to be moving onto Kindergarten in the fall!
Evan was done with school, but the other two had 3 more days left. I had lots of organizing to do for the PTA before summer vacation, so even though he was done Evan still spent a lot of time at the school. On Tuesday I stopped by David's class to give his teacher her appreciation gift and to say thanks for a great year. I have made a tradition of getting a picture of the boys with their teacher during the last week of school.
That night was Shaun's first grade success night. We got to go in and see his portfolio and check out all his best work. But first we had to celebrate with a special dinner at his favorite restaurant.
Today was the last day! Tomorrow we start our summer vacation!
Look at how much they have grown in one school year!

Evan is determined to ride on 2 wheels this summer! He started practicing with Dad on the makeshift balance bike! He struggled when we added the pedals, but he didn't do bad for his first time and we were proud of him for trying!

First grade success night! We are so proud of our middle, he's come so far this year. I was most impressed by the improvement of his penmanship from the start of the year to now! Second grade here he comes!

Needs work, but it was fun playing around with my light. And I got a much better genuine smile than the strangers at Lifetouch did!
