In an effort to fill the long gap between posts in May and June, I've gone back to find some of our best photos from that time period.We spent a lot of time at the soccer field this spring and even though Jamie was the official coach, I ended up filling in for him on many occassions as work, travel and golf interfered with his coaching. Katie really improved this year and showed good skills in goal.
One of the weekends Jamie was away with college friends in Vegas, so we had a fun girls weekend. Two highlights were our stop at the ice cream shop and a visit to a new park. All went well until Caroline fell and Katie did the monkey bars so many times that she got blisters and popped them . . .
Just before the end of school the kindergartners had a Growing Ceremony which was really cute. The kids did a great job singing and they ended the program by giving the parents a plant they had planted. The teachers closed by reading "Let Me Hold You Longer" which was a real tear-jerker for the kindergarten moms . . . I'll know to pack kleenex for Caroline's!
Here is Katie with her teacher Mrs. Patch.
On Friday of that week we drove up to Michigan for Lindsay's wedding. It was a great time and we enjoyed seeing everyone!
Somehow our girls migrated back to sit with Uncle Buddy!
Jen and Hannah
Jamie and Billy planning some sort of chicken fight with the girls. Looks like Caroline is a fan of the idea!

Love the train!
The next day we enjoyed some time at Uncle Neil and Aunt Karen's house. Katie was happy to have her hair braided by Aunt Linda . . . while Caroline was delighted to sit on Neil's lawnmower, which entertained her for quite a while.
When we returned from our Memorial Day weekend in Michigan, it was Katie's last week of school, which was very busy.

When we returned from our Memorial Day weekend in Michigan, it was Katie's last week of school, which was very busy. On Tuesday her class had a field trip to the bowling alley with their 4th grade buddies. I volunteered for the trip and had fun watching Katie with her friends.
Here she is with her buddy.
With her "BFF" Annie
Katie, Annie and her other BFF Kate.
Wednesday was field day and I volunteered for that as well. I got to escort Katie and a group of her classmates from one station to the next.
I love this picture because of the look on Katie's face. We had three boys and three girls in our group, so when they had to pair up by twos, she and her friend Tommy had to be the mixed-gender pairing. Even though she likes Tommy she was definitely facing an inner struggle over whether she could actually be his partner for the wheelbarrow race!
After field day the kids had a picnic lunch outside.
That afternoon, the Girl Scouts had an ice cream social at the playground/water park behind the school.
Grandma and Poppy arrived that night for a visit. 
Friday was a day of lasts. It was Caroline's last day at her preschool (we switched to a new preschool) so we had to say goodbye to our beloved Ms. Julie. And, it was Katie's last day of kindergarten. Here she is getting off the bus.
That weekend while all the golfing was happening, we spent a lot of time with the kids at the pool.
On Monday, Caroline started at her new preschool, and has really been enjoying it.
In June, soccer season continued on. Since Jamie was around, I was able to take more photos for this particular game!
Katie attended a golf clinic during her first week of summer break. The highlights for her were that a girl from her kindergarten class was also in the group, they got candy after each session and she won the putting contest) sinking a 15-foot putt.
That weekend Jamie and I enjoyed a fun night out at the Art Ball event.
And then we spent Sunday at the pool, where the girls made their debut on the diving board. After taking a minute or two to get her courage up, Caroline jumped in and then proceeded to jump off the board for the next two hours straight.

The purpose of the visit was for Dad to play in a golf event with Jamie. On Thursday before the golf started G & P got to visit Katie's school and have lunch with her.
