Hanging on By a Thread

I can't believe we are 4 days away from closing out another school year.  We are 4 days away from having a 2nd grader (eek!).  We are 4 days away from Abigail being in Pre-K (oh boy!).  We are 4 days away from ending our 9th year of teaching in Park City.   Crazy!

With the school year coming to a close, that means my list just seems to be getting longer and longer-report cards, end-of-year projects, inventory, testing, memory books, end-of-year celebrations, etc...
So, needless to say, I don't have a ton of pictures for this post.  However, with summer right around the corner, my posts will be much more frequent with far more photos.

Onward...

The girls and I went to Noche de Loteria (Bingo Night) at our school.

We went super simple and had Abby's 4th birthday party at Willow Creek Park--one of our favorites.  Kids took home a frisbee and bubbles.  It was super fun (and super easy clean-up)!

For Mother's Day, I wanted to go for a family hike and then have a picnic.

 May 17th brought us this beautiful surprise.

One of my favorite days of the year, Running with Ed., was held on May 20th.

 Emma even ran a 1.5 mile leg.

It is always such a fun day!  And my training must be paying off because I felt great after my 11 miles.

Abby had fun at the after-party.

My sister came to town for a visit.  That usually means cooking, baking, crafting, and playing at the park!

 Emma had her end-of-the-year concert last week.  She is on the top left.

We bought a composter! 

These two beauties were in our yard for a couple of days last week.  The girls LOVED watching them.  It was the first thing they looked for when we got home from school.

Abigail had her end-of-year celebration last week.

 Andy is now 4-0!  We celebrated, quite simply, with a BBQ with good friends.
