So I really have been pretty pathetic in terms of picture taking, but after I compiled pictures from my dad, my camera and my phone there were quite a few and I didn't feel so bad. It took a while to organize but I think I've got it. So here's a little (okay, maybe long) snapshot of what we've been up to lately.

We've been meaning to do the 9/11 memorial and finally found an excuse to do it.

Rachel
We signed Rachel up for Tee-ball this spring because her good neighbor friend was doing it. She was nervous for her first day because she didn't know how. I had to keep telling her that it was for her to learn how. It's 1 1/2 hours on Saturday morning and there can be a lot of standing around time which makes her a little antsy but she's really started to get the hang of it and is enjoying it much more lately. I must say, it is SO CUTE to watch!!

| We've been to a million birthday parties. Okay, not that many, but a lot! We had 3 in one Saturday. |
Rachel had her little end of the year celebration (even though she still has a few more weeks of school) It was great to read all of her writing projects. She especially loved the poetry unit and is quite a good poet. I'll have to share as soon as she gets to bring them home. She has LOVED her year at school and it blows my mind that I almost have a second grader!

Tommy
I already gave a pretty good synopsis of this boy but here are some great shots
 |
| He's excited to play tee-ball...next year |
 |
| Oh Tommy boy |
 |
| Tommy is still enjoying his karate class and is so happy to have his new camouflage belt, because no one can see him |

Told you this kid love to help me
 |
| They have an amazing story time/craft on campus. This day they read a story on tooth fairies, they made wings and a wand and went on a tooth hunt (small white rocks in a bag) So adorable! |

| Gotta love it |
KatelynThis girl is changing everyday! With new words
and new discoveries and has such a fun personality. She still does most
of her communicating by pointing or grabbing our fingers and dragging
us to what she wants. She loves "books" and she is
LOVING our family photo albums and
we go through all of them at least once a day. It's so cute to hear her
shout "Wachel!" as she points to the pictures. Another favorite thing..."play!" which is either playgrounds or play dough. This girl wants to do everything her older siblings are doing and never wants to miss a beat. I'm already having a little trouble with her in the napping department. She refuses to sit on any kind of high chair or booster, which is kind of tricky with our 4 person kitchen table. It's pretty cute to watch her climb up on the chair, but she also gives me heart attacks from fear of her falling. She's just so cute!

Oh man a 2nd grader!!!! And I thought I was having breakdowns about finishing kindergarten. Your kids are adorable and I so wish we could ha g out and play. If only we weren't on opposite sides of the country.
I match my girls a lot too! I am not sure if you got those at childrens place, but I got my girls the same ones Rachel is wearing from there... love the purple!
I am laughing so hard at the picture of Kate with the yellow balls... he he
Natalie wears the Mr. Potato head glasses the exact same way!! Sometimes around her neck too!
Kate is so big! I wish Tommy and Brauer could play t-ball together. That would be so fun. And I love the sister pictures. My girls still like to match.
Cuties! I can't believe Rachel is playing tee ball. That is so great. She is so well rounded already! And baby Kate with those Potato Head glasses on is really killer. Love these kiddos.
Love the update! I miss your kids. They are so cute. Love kate wearing the mr. potato head glasses. heehee
My girls also like to match and pretend to be twins. So cute!
Loved seeing pictures of the kids! So grown up! We miss you all!
Favorite pics:
1. Rachie running at full stride in teeball.
2. Tommy with the huge helmet on his head.
(also tied with the shot of him smirking at the camera during karate class)
3. Miss Kate with her legs crossed, Mr. Potato Head glasses on, & deep in literature.
Fabulous update and photos. Those kids all have dynamic personalities, they are so fun! I miss them. Glad we are coming this summer.
