Dear Mom and Dad,

Last night, Meg graduated from pre-K at The Children's Courtyard. I still can't believe my baby is going to be in kindergarten next year!

Children's Courtyard did graduation ceremony for the pre-K classes. The teachers worked very hard with all of the students to put together a great program. They said the Pledge of Allegiance, then did that alphabet in sign language. After that they sang You Are My Sunshine, followed by a dance to "Cha Cha Slide". The actually performed the "Cha Cha Slide" twice (once on the stage, and once on the floor). After the dancing, the children lined up to have their 15 seconds of fame where each child was given the microphone to tell the audience what they want to be when they grow up...Meg wants to be a nurse (here is the video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OhfdvX4YbEk). Right before it was over, all of the children walked across the stage to receive their diploma. It was so adorable!!!

I am so proud of Megan and all that she has learned this year. I am not excited about her starting kindergarten, but know that I can't hold her back. I love you sweet girl!!!

Swimming at Meme and Poppy's

While Meg and I were in San Antonio, we jumped in the pool. It was a little chilly at first, but was quite refreshing after I got used to it. Of course, Meg jumped right in and told me I was silly for thinking it was cold.

I remember as a kid swimming at my neighbor's house. As long as the water temp was above 78, we would swim and swim and swim. As an adult, I'd prefer the temperature of a pool to be around 90. I wonder when the change occurred.

Here are a few pictures of Meg while we were swimming. I still love my camera and can't believe I survived without it for so long.

I will post video tomorrow of her swimming. I hope by the end of the summer she'll be a champ!

We will miss you!!!

It is with a heavy heart that I write this post. A few weeks ago, our black lab got sick and passed away. Over the last six years, he has brought us a love that will never be forgotten.

Ace, we love you and will always remember you in our hearts! Thank you for all your "sloppy sugars" and drooling all over my floors after you took a drink. Thank you for sleeping with Meg every night to fight off the monsters and all the bad things in the night. Thank you for being such a wonder brother to Megan and Dixie. Thank you for always letting Dixie win when we played fetch (we all knew that you were much faster than her, but you always let her win). Thank you for the laughs you brought into our lives. We will always love you!!!

***Meg & Ace in November, 2008***

On Saturday, Meg decided she wanted to buy a balloon to give to you. She wanted us to tie a note to the balloon so you would know that she loves you. I wrote the note for her and she signed it. I think her note says it all!!!
