School's out for the Summer...

Katie got to spend a few hours with me at school on one of my last days. Here is our little prodigy already getting lessons from mom.

And below, this is the same look I often see in my students.

Here I am with Mrs. Bakker, my kindergarten teacher, and
Mr. Bakker who had been my principal in one way or another
for 21 years. He is finally retiring and we
were having a lunch in his honor.

New pictures of JD. These were taken June 9 & 10.





He is now a little over 2 months old. How time flies! He is a great little guy and he gives us so many precious smiles. He is really quite laid back. Of course he does have his moments but we are truly blessed.

My roommate from college came over a couple weeks after JD was born. It is so great to have her in the area. We don't get together too often but it is really nice when we do. Thanks again Diane for coming and for picking up our necessities. I owe you.

For those of you who don't know I had JD without an ounce of pain medication and WOW! I don't know why I let the doctors and nurses talk me in to that. Anyway below you see how I pushed the wrong way and did a real number to my eyes.

But he was well worth all that horrible horrible pain. : )



This little girl is the light of our lives. She has so much personality and she just fills her mom and dad with so much pride. She is a true delight.
