Too Long!

It's been too long! I know you've missed me. Honestly, the thought of uploading pictures and arranging them in the right order made me skip out on ya! I'm taking a clue from my friend Alison, and axing the pics for this post.
A lot has happened in the last 6 weeks. Reese and Landry both finished soccer. Landry's team did well and sadly, her coach is moving to Boston. We will see if she plays next season. Reese finished her first season and I really think her last season. She would cheer when her coach let her sit down and she has already informed me that she would like to take dance next year. She is definitely cut out of a different cloth!
Landry finished 3rd grade! I cannot believe that! She made all A's all year and got a trophy and shirt for that accomplishment. She tested and qualified for the GT program for 4th grade. She will go to a different school 2 days a week next year. She is excited. Most importantly, I am most proud of the person she is becoming. Her teacher wrote a note to us at the end of the year saying the she displays, "all the fruits of the Spirit." What a great compliment. She is hard working, caring and works really hard. We are so proud of her.
Reese is signed up for 3 day pre school next year. She is really excited as well.
Landry went to GA camp the first week school was out. She had a great time as our neighbor went as well as her cousins from Stanton.
Both girls went to VBS at our church the next week. They really enjoyed it. This was Reese's first year. She wants to become a habitual VBSer. She's gonna LOVE school!
Both girls are swimming again at our City swim facility. Landry is on the swim team and Reese is doing gymnastics as well.
We are taking a week off this next week and heading out on vacation. We are going down to Port Aransas with our friends the Romikes. 5 kids, 2 moms and 2 dads in one house should be fun! I LOVE that my kids are getting to go one trips with other families. I always think vacations with others are such fun! More to come on the Louder/Romike excursion!
