Thanks to everyone who came and for all his friends who spoiled him rotten with their generosity.

play ball!

This was Madelynne's first year of playing softball on a team. It was instructional, so the league really focused on teaching the girls how to play the game and working on their out field skills. Most of the girls already knew how to hit-it is everything else about the game they needed to learn. :)

madelynne's kindergarten graduation

The day Mommy and Luke came home from the hospital was Madelynne's kindergarten graduation.  Mommy and Luke stayed home and Daddy and Jackson went to celebrate Madelynne's successful completion of kindergarten.

Sitting at her desk for the last time.

After the graduation ceremony there was a BIG party to celebrate school ending.

Madelynne and her kindergarten teacher, Mrs. Grosel.  We could not have asked for a better teacher for Madelynne.  Mommy and Madelynne will both miss Mrs. Grosel a lot.  She made Madelynne's start to her school career incredible.  We are so grateful for the dedication and hard work of this awesome teacher.

This was our teacher gift for both Madelynne and Jackson's teachers this year.  We found out they both liked purple, so Mommy sewed two!  The note attached read, "Thanks for a 'tote-ally' awesome year!"

jackson's a big brother

WOW!  No little boy could be more excited than Jackson to be a big brother.  Madelynne and Jackson were both anxious to meet their new brother.  Here are the pictures from the first time they met our sweet baby, Luke.

Jackson holding Luke for the first time.  When Madelynne and Jackson first walked in the hospital room to meet Luke all of the sudden Jackson looked so much older to me.  He was no longer the baby of the family.  He is the now big brother.  So bittersweet for the mama in that time is going way too fast.  Why can't they just stay little?

Madelynne of course was hoping for a sister, but she came around to the idea of having two little brothers.  She is a great big sister to both of her brothers.
