Kate's last day of Preschool

When I dropped Kate off at preschool for the first time I was very brave to her face and as I drove off I started crying. Pretty typical, I think. But today as I dropped her off at preschool for the last time I also cried. I think the reason is number 1, I'm pregnant (good excuse for a lot of things) and number 2 is I can't believe that she will be going to Kindergarten. She is getting so big. We have loved her preschool experience. It has been so good for her and she has learned alot. She has made some fun friends and had fabulous teachers. We will miss Challenger. The last day of school is called Clown day and the kids can dress up however they want. She wanted to be Minney Mouse.
Here is Kate with her friends. They are called the kitchen group, because they play with the kitchen everyday.
After the girls posed the boys all got up there and posed, even though I didn't ask them to. Aren't they cute.
Here are Kate's teachers Miss Alyssa and Miss Teri. They have been wonderful and we will miss them. On to Kindergarten!!!

Poor Ben

Ben is learning how to walk and loves to play on the stairs. Daddy was watching him go up and down the outside concrete stairs when mommy distracted him and Ben sat down and tumbled down the stairs landing on his nose. Sadly, I'm sure this won't be the last time he does that. This picture is of him taking his jammies off and his shirt got stuck. I thought it was pretty funny. He's very concerned.

Hanging out at home

Here are the kids just hanging out at home, which we seem to do a lot. We thought it was so cute that Ben would sit on the bench for a second and look at the T.V.
Kate got these two kids (Ben and cousin Abigail) up on the couch and settled with a book on her own. She is such an amazing big sister and cousin. Ben looks really happy doesn't he?
