Maryn's preschool graduation

It's hard to believe that three years ago she was starting preschool and now she is finishing her last year.  The time has gone by so quickly!  This sweet girl has captured our hearts with her laughter, smile and love. She loved preschool!  I'm so thankful that this place, these teachers, and friends have been a part of school journey.  We have made many new friends and look forward to the years we have yet to come with the boys.  
Maryn's graduation was too cute.  They had the kids on stage in cocoons and then had them bust out with butterfly wings on.  Her teacher, Ms. Virginia, had written a little something on each of the students and shared it as the kids got a certificate.  There was also a slideshow which brought the room to tears...especially the moms :)  I think my favorite part was when they lit a candle for each school the kids would be attending as a way to send their light into their new school.  Such a special morning to share with our families celebrating Maryn and her friends!

The graduate!

Getting her certificate
As Ms Virginia shared about each student, they added a piece to the puzzle
In the end the puzzle was a beautiful butterfly!
of course there were faces :)

These are the moms that I had the joy of co-oping with over the last three years.
Great moms, great friendships!

an end to a great soccer season!

We wrapped up soccer in late May...such a fun season!  In the last couple games, Maryn became much more engaged and you could tell she was not scared to get right in the middle of the pack.  She loved that Daddy even helped coach a couple of games :)  Thanks Coach James and Tangerine teammates for a fun season!

Game face!
