Every year when we are in Destin, we manage to make a trip to Bass Pro Shop at Destin Commons and take a picture of the girls in the viewing hole of the huge fish tank. Its something the girls expect and ask to do! I knew I had taken many pics, so I thought I'd see what they look like through the years....

oops...missed a few milestones!
Oops- it appears I didn't do a SARAH KATHERINE is FIVE post! Sorry! Well...regardless, she turned 5 on April 20th! Since then, we've had all the end of the school year activities and summer break has officially started! The girls plan to have a great summer, full of being lazy, overnight and day-camps, VBS, and much more! They are both at home with a babysitter for the summer and we are officially 100% DONE with daycare forever- woo hoo!!! OH - and we got a new puppy! His name is Barkley - he is a yellow lab. He is now 3 1/2 months old and a complete handful. He's lucky he's so dang cute!

Nerves
I really have nothing exciting to report. Beth was sick all last week...blah. Just a nasty cold virus that wouldn't loosen its grip on her, so she got 3 sick days and a snow day - yeah!
Why did I title the post NERVES? Well....here's why....
I WAS nervous regarding Sarah's school choice for next year. Last fall I made the decision to go ahead and move her to full-day Kindergarten at the same private school where Beth is now for the 2011-12 school year. We will be moving her out of her preschool/kindergarten program she has been in for 2 years. Beth STAYED there for Kindy, so this will my first Kindy experience at this school, however, its the SAME teacher Beth had when she was in church Kindy, so I'm psyched about that! SO, basically, after 5 years and 2 kids, we are leaving our Church school. I wish I could say I was sad, but I feel and I know its time to move. I need the move for me. I need the girls to be at the same school. I need to remove myself from being so intertwined in the Church school. I am the Board Chairman. I am 1 of 4 Kids Closet Coordinators. I am resigning both those jobs in May. I need to pull Sarah out of Church Daycare. She will leave there in May, as well. Honestly, I need a separation between Church and school and daycare because the lines get crossed and fuzzy sometimes. I need my church to be MY CHURCH and nothing more. And that is all I will say about that without going into crazy details that don't need to be on the internet.
SO ANYWAY- I just found out out that Sarah will definitely make the cut for Kindergarten next year. She is on THE list and NOT the "WAITING" LIST!! Now I can RELAX!!
Bob has gone back to school to finish his masters degree in Occupational Safety & Health- 2 nights a week. Yeah -that makes me a little nervous, too. Not that he is going back to school- but gone two nights a week on top of his already busy schedule. HOPEFULLY he'll be all done by next Christmas!
Bob also got a great new potential client...I say "potential" because the contract isn't signed yet and we know better than anyone, that things can change and happen before anyone signs on the dotted line and that makes me nervous. Rates and dollar signs haven't been discussed yet, so...again...I'm nervous that it all works out okay because it really is a great opportunity!
On a different note- Beth had 3 tests yesterday and made A's on all of them -yeah!!
