while we were gone

BJ's parents, the Ballasts, and the Wades were so accommodating and watched our children for us while we were in Hawaii.  The kids had so much fun with all of them, they barely noticed we were gone.  We were so appreciative of their generosity to watch our children and are forever grateful!

 BJ's parents watched all the kids together at our house and while they went on their own mini vacation, the Wades had Justin and Kaitlin over to their house while the Ballasts had Haley and Kristen at their house.

Kaitlin's class had their kindergarten graduation and a field trip to the park across the street from the school while we were gone.  Some sweet friends took some pictures for us.
