Xander and Clare

Last time getting picked up at his old bus stop.

Clare "helping" Michael mow our new front yard
for the first time.

Cul-de-sac bike riding.

Watching the start of the fifth graders' parade down
the hallway on the last day of school.

Principal Tolliver leading the kids who are off to
middle school in the fall.

Trying to make his way down the hallway through the swarms
of kids.

A goodbye hug from Mrs. Webb
(she then thanked me for sharing Xander with her
since we moved to Happy Valley. She's so great!)

One last chin-scratch with preschool kitty Gracie.

Clare loved all of her preschool teachers but she loved
Teacher Jason the best.

Trying to blow a bubble.

Preschool drop-off goodbye on Clare's
second-to-last day at Loving Space.

Xander has been requesting a hot dog party on his last day
of school for weeks. He and Clare got the patio all set up.

Leaping for joy about the start of summer vacation.

Clare's last day of preschool.

Clare and Teacher Julie.

And with her best buddy Emerson.

Last preschool check-in.

Michael was out of town for work so I had to pretend to be
interested in game 7 of the NBA finals.

Playing in the study.

Spinning in the desk chair.

Helping Daddy make our first big weekend breakfast
in the new house.
