In February, Keaton turned six, and we celebrated with family and friends at the bowling alley. He started his second season of soccer in March. He loves it and is now much more focused than last year. No more "walking like an Egyptian" across the field! Keaton is doing really, really well in school. He knows all of his 110 kindergarten sight words and is working of his phrases now. I'm so proud of him!
McLain is officially a preteen. Scary thought! He turned twelve in April, and we celebrated this milestone at Mountasia with a bunch of his guy friends from school. I am so grateful that he has found a fun, wholesome group of boys to hang out with. McLain just had his final 6th grade orchestra concert this week. Clay and I are so proud that he has been first chair in the cello section all year! He definitely has those musical genes, like his Daddy and uncles. McLain is in the midst of his fifth soccer season. It'a amazing the growth he has made in five years.
Sweet Collin turned two just two weeks after McLain's birthday. We celebrated with his favorite buddy, Elmo! Collin is such a funny guy and is really starting to talk. I love to hear him say "We're home, Mama" when we pull into the neighborhood and "Shooooooooes" whenever he's ready to go bye-bye. He has become a fierce protector of his sister and loves to take care of her. I love to watch him get excited when she wakes up and say, "HI! HI, baby!" with a huge smile on his face. Precious!
My baby girl is already five and half months old. I can't believe it! Amelia-Grace is such a sweet, HAPPY girl. She recently started having big belly laughs and rolling over. My girl is a big snuggler and loves to be rocked. She is so much fun to take shopping, and I feel certain that she loves going to Target with a big bow on her head as much I love going with her and showing her off.
School will be over in three weeks. I'm looking forward to mornings of sleeping in (hopefully until 7:00!), to afternoons spent at the pool, and to evenings watching Duck Dynasty and eating chocolate chip cookies.
