Jack's school had a mini-graduation for his kindergarten prep class a few weeks ago. The kids sang several songs and took turns talking about their favorite things from the year. It was only about fifteen minutes, and even by the end of that, the kids were having a very hard time standing still! It was pretty adorable.
After Jack's ceremony was over, we hopped in the car and drove to Minneapolis for the weekend. We visited our good friends Melissa and Jason and their kids and another law school classmate drove up from Des Moines to visit. Five adults and five kids! It had been way too long since getting together, and it was a blast! Just an absolute perfect weekend. Since we didn't get up there until late on Friday, we stayed over until Monday to squeeze a little extra time in.
We started with a trip to the Zoo . . .
And a picnic lunch.
Melissa and Jason live close to one of Minneapolis's lakes, and we walked there for dinner and drinks.
And finished the day with a fire and s'mores!
On Sunday we saw the Twins beat the Blue Jays, and the kids got to run the bases afterward!
Happy 2nd birthday, Lydia!! Our sweet girl turned two last month, and we stretched the celebration over two weeks. Uncle Jimmy was home from California the weekend before, and then we celebrated with everyone else the next weekend. Lydia is a happy, happy girl. She loves to laugh and giggle and be tickled. She especially loves to laugh at her big brother! She has her two-year-old moments, and is quite firm when she knows what she wants, but nothing out of the ordinary. She can count to three and sing her ABCs (mostly). She also has a handful of other songs that she entertains us with on an almost daily basis. And this girl loves her books! She can sit for a long time among a pile of books, reading and singing out loud to herself. She might turn into our little bookworm.
