Thankful

I'm so thankful today....for something I am NEVER thankful for. I am thankful that I can take care of the kids all by myself this weekend when Eric is on call. A few months ago, the thought of doing many things (getting the kids ready in the morning, putting them in the car, cleaning the house, taking them to the grocery store) seemed like an impossibility. But just today, I took all 4 of these crazies to a parade and carnival all by myself!

(Look at Mr. Too Cool on the right)

I almost attempted the ridiculous last night and took them all to the grocery store but my awesome husband  was able to come home for a bit and save me from certain death  the craziness. So I escaped that... for now.

I've gotten to the point where there are days that I don't even think about the whole crazy experience of the past few months. God is so good. 

On Wednesday I got to take part in this little boy's kindergarten graduation!

 Wasn't he just born??

 His best pal, Levi. So thankful they were in the same class this year. He loves to say they've been friends since they were one!

 His teacher, Mrs. Plantinga. She was great! 

 These wacky brothers were proud too!

Wow, what will life be like in 2024, when Cole graduates high school??

On to first grade, but first, a fun filled summer! (If I can keep him from being "bored" all summer!)

And one more pic, just because they're cute.
