Kindergarten Graduation

Gabriel graduated from kindergarten this morning. You would have thought that it was high school as emotional as I got. He had the BEST teacher. We love her so much. She is getting married and moving to Louisiana this summer so Abigail will not have the opportunity to have her. I think that is why I was so sad. She was so sweet to Gabe. She taught him things that I had struggled with for MONTHS! He is reading now and he struggled at the beginning of the year with his letters so much. Gabriel receiving his diploma from the principal.

He told me that he was so nervous and embarrassed to walk up there in front of all those people. (He gets that from me and my brothers. The less attention focused on us the better.) He said, "Mom, I was so nervous, but I faced my fears and got up there." So cute!

Possum Boy

On Mother's Day, the whole family came over and we had a wonderful time visiting and eating. They brought some company with them.

Joe's brother Ronnie found some baby possums and they brought them up for all the grandkids to play with. They were so cute. Gabriel mustered the courage to hold one and then wouldn't let anybody take it from him.

Mother's Day

For Mother's Day this year I received beautiful roses from Joe. Unfortunately I didn't think to take any pictures.
This "flower" was presented to me by Jacob. He was outside after we got home from church and brought me this beautiful flower. I think that it is the most beautiful weed I have ever seen.

Bedtime

"Mom, I have a crick in my neck."

Now that he is mobile, I never know what postion I will find him in.
