May 14

Mother's Day! Due to a fender bender the night before, we ended up taking family pictures at the Navarre Pier Sunday evening. After the pictures we walked along the pier. This was one of our favorite things we did on our Florida trip back in 2015.  For Mother's Day I told Anthony and the kids that their Mother's Day gift to Memaw was to not complain about taking the family pictures. They didn't complain too much.

Monday was our last full day in Florida. We spent most of it at the beach. We spent the morning hunting for shells, the afternoon playing in the water and the evening in the sand. It was just so gorgeous and picturesque! I saw sad to leave.

Wednesday was our travel day. Anthony travels quite a bit more than the rest of us so he gets a Southwest "A" boarding pass each time he flies. Elliott boarded with him while Will, Lauren and I waited to board with the families. It was a much smoother trip home than out. We were all so tired that afternoon and evening.

Art imitating life. Lauren and Will made an airport that was connected to a beach out of their Legos Wednesday afternoon.

Lauren only had two days of preschool once we returned from our trip. The district switched the end date of school on us after we had already made our plans and it is harder than you think to coordinate a time for 6 busy families. Lauren's preschool teacher this year was Miss Diana. She is awesome! Lauren loved being in her classroom, they both like singing and crafts. Miss Diana's son is going to be a life guard at our neighborhood pool this summer so we look forward to running into her there!

Will's finished first grade in style! He had a great year. He learned a lot, made new friends and gained a lot of confidence. What more could a parent want for their child?

After his Saturday night bath Elliott climbed into the big bed in his room. Will saw him, joined him and read him a book. I love my little buddies.
