Lyle in Vegas

Lyle was in Las Vegas last weekend and at about midnight I got this text video. I think he had lots of "fun".

The Miracle Picture

Last weekend, our good friends had a going away party for us. It was great getting to see everyone and watching our kids play together. We decided to get them all together and take a quick picture. We figured it was going to be absolutely impossible to get 11 kids (7 of them under the age of 4) to sit still long enough to get a good pic but we did it anyway. To our amazement, they all sat perfectly still and smiled at the camera!! It was an amazing moment and we all just stared in disbelief. It was a great time!! We have the best friends!!

Saying Goodbye to her Friends

Ella's last day at Callier was last Friday. So, we had a little party for her before she left so she could go out with a bang! It was definitely harder for me than her. She has been with these kids since she was 7 months and I think I love them as much as she does. Her teachers are wonderful and we will miss all of them so much. But forward we must go!
Here are some pics of her last day.

Ella's present for her teachers. Mary and Brenda were great!
