So much has happened lately and we have done such fun stuff! 

You finished your first year in preschool a few weeks a go- it's hard to believe that you only have one more year left before you go to preschool. Mama got to attend your last day of preschool where we sang songs, had ice cream sundaes, and played outside with all of your friends. You formed a great friendship with two of your classmates- Elias and Liam. In fact, you started playing tball with them this summer so you get to see them even more! :) It's so neat to see you really start to form friendships and have so much fun with other kiddos. You always say that they are your best buddies or your best friends. When Mama was unloading your backpack on your last day of school, I will shamefully admit that I did cry at the thought of you growing up! You saw me crying and told me "I will always hold your hand, Mama!" 

Like I said, you started playing baseball with your two best buddies and are really loving it! It's four pitches by the coach and then off the tee if necessary. Daddy helps out and it makes my heart so happy to see two of my favorite guys out there together. You are at that age where you don't really understand the rules but really have a blast trying! It is quite possibly the cutest thing ever watching the games! 

Uncle David graduated from medical school and we could not be any more excited for him or proud of him. You attended his hooding ceremony and his graduation and cheered 

him on so loud. You had a blast at his graduation party where you played so hard with the girls. You just cannot get enough of your girls. 

Sadly, Gigi (poppy's mama) passed away 

- she had been in and out of the hospital so I know she didn't want to live that way but it is always so hard to lose loved ones. We spent a lot of time trying to cheer poppy up - he had rotator cuff surgery the day before she passed away so he has really been down in the dumps. 

Me, you, and Daddy moved uncle Dave and aunt Sheena to St. Louis this week. What should have been a 4 1/2 car ride turned into a nine hour trip. Ain't Sheena had a tire blow out so we waited to fix that, there was a wreck on the highway, and rush hour traffic caused us to be at a stand still... But you were the most amazing little boy! Daddy drove the ugly so ur was just me and you in the car but you were so great and patient despite the long time. You didn't fall asleep at all but also didn't whine or fight me for it being so Long. When we got to dave's and started unloading the uhaul, you were such a big help! You carried in so much stuff for them- they definitely couldn't have done it without you :)
