Vi is a preschool graduate!  Her class had a little song and grad ceremony.  It was adorable.  I've got a video that I've got to process but I'll upload it soon.

 Claire was psyched to hang out with all the kids at the little program.  We just found out that Claire will get to go to this preschool too.  Since it is an integrated program of children with Speech delays and other special needs, half the class is for normally developing children and Claire got one of those spots!  I am so excited!  This means I will have 3 hours a day 4 days a week, all to myself!  It's perfect because I am taking 4 classes this fall and I will need some homework time...and maybe a little gym time too :)

Soccer Started 2 weeks ago!  Violet had one little melt down at the first 9 am practice but she has gotten over that (with the help of a bribery deal and a steady supply of treat promises)  But once she gets out there she loves it!  She loves to run around and is actually getting to be pretty good at kicking the ball.  Her team is full of new kids that don't know how to play yet, and we played our first game against a second year team that was really good!  I think we lost by at least 20 goals, and it was pouring buckets of rain but as we were leaving Violet looked at me and said "MOM! WE WON!!!"  So it was definitely worth standing out in the rain at 9 am on a Saturday morning.  It's official...I'm a soccer mom!

Cruz hung out with me for one of the practices...He is a little suspicious of me.  He only warmed up to me once I fed him.  Pretty picky for a kid sucking a pink binky if you ask me ;)

Once Cruz was fed, he took a nap in his car seat and Claire swooped in to play baby.
I think she misses her baby toys.

Violet and Liv out on the field with Greg.  Having a blast.

Vi after practice showing us how to properly eat a nutty buddy...apparently only one bite is necessary because this is the only bite she took :)  Well summer has officially started and we are having a great time.  I am hoping the rain will die down soon, or Vi may need rain gear to play soccer!  We are looking forward to fun times with the cousins in about a month...bring on the beach!!!
