Picnic in the Park

Last weekend, we picked up McDonalds and headed over to Robinette Park in Vandalia for a picnic and playtime.

Preschool Graduate

Riley graduated from preschool at Creative Learning Center on May 17th. Preschool was the best thing for her. She went from crying the first few weeks of school to being excited to go to see all her friends. Between us working hard at home and all she learned at preschool, she can recognize, write and knows the sounds of all her letters. She can write many simple words and knows how to sound out words she doesn't yet know how to spell.

She is one smart cookie, and I couldn't be more proud of her. I cannot believe she will be starting Kindergarten this Fall. I asked her recently if she wanted to stay in preschool another year instead of going to Kindergarten. Her answer, "No. I want to go to Kindergarten, so I can hurry and get this school stuff over with." Slow down baby girl. You may be ready to move on, but your Mom still wishes she could keep you this age forever.

Reed's First Communion

Reed celebrated his First Communion at St. Christopher Church on Sunday, May 6th.  Following the mass, Grandpa and Grandma Suchland, Godfather Jace, Godmother Annette and family came back to our house to celebrate.  Reed picked a taco bar for dinner followed by an ice cream sundae bar for dessert.  It was a great day.
