Some kid stuff

As we wrapped up our time in Waco, we were also doing end of the year stuff with our big kids. 

Catie had a ballet recital/parent observation time.  It was so sweet!  Look at this girl!!

A highlight of the time was the dancing in the dark.  They gave all the girls glowsticks and turned off the lights!

Zach finished 2nd grade.  I don't really know how that's possible that he's about to turn 8, but it happened!  Here he is with his teacher.  This precious lady stretched him and helped him grow in so many ways this year.  We LOVE her!!

Here's Z on the stage at the end-of-the-year award ceremony.

Speaking of my kids, I have noticed myself being too grumpy and snappy lately.  And I hate that...cause that's not who I am, and that's not how I want to treat these precious kids.  I have been reading the most amazing parenting book.  Loving Your Kids on Purpose  For me it has been a game-changer.  Challenging, thought-provoking, and chasing the grumpies right out the window!
