First Day, 5K and a Family Reunion!

Last Tuesday was Maddox's first day at his new preschool!  It is impossible to capture a picture of my sweet (almost) 2 year old.... so these pictures will have to do!  He loves having pockets in his shorts, pants or jackets these days so I thought it was only fitting to try to capture him walking around with his hands in his pockets.... you can also see Maddox has mixed emotions about starting at the preschool (or maybe he has mixed emotions about Mommy trying to document this occasion with pictures!)

 Our school was recognized this week for Exceeding Expected Growth and we received an A rating from our district.  The news crews came by for our superintendent to have a press conference to announce the school grades were being released.  It was so much fun to have so many familiar faces represented at our school.

Grammy and Grandpa went with Zander and Maddox to breakfast at their preschool on Friday morning for a Grandparents' Breakfast.  It started at 7:00 and it was so nice to have them take the boys to school so I could head straight to work!  I think they had fun spending time with the boys since they don't see them as often now that Maddox is at school too!

Daddy and our friends (Sarah and Josh) ran a 5K on Saturday to raise money for our orphan ministry at church.  The boys and I cheered for them at the finish.  Zander wants to run a race in the future so he practiced running with daddy after the race was over.... maybe I will have a new training partner?!:) We were able to hang out with the Williams family Saturday evening as well.  We grilled out at their house and watched the kids play for hours!

 We were able to soak up some sunshine.... the weather has been absolutely beautiful!  The boys love playing at any of our local parks... it was so nice to spend time with our little family of four!

 Today we headed to a family reunion for Zack's side of the family.  The boys were already worn out before the trip even got started!  (The first picture was taken within the first 30 minutes of our drive.)  The reunion was very special.  Some of the people there we hadn't seen since we added Maddox to our family.  Also, the cousins were able to meet for the first time and I think Zander and Maddox are both already in love with Henry.  We got a few good pictures of all three boys with Grannie and I got to snuggle my nephew for a little bit as well!! :)
