Mercedes and the Girls

Two things happened simultaneously this morning.  Mac had her farewell party for preschool.  They had root beer floats, and celebrated the last day of school!  She has done so well this year, learning so many new things, and receiving glowing reports from her teachers.  I've said it before, people like Mac.  She is engaging and social.  Next year's preschool will be three days a week instead of two, and she's excited already.  Next year they focus more on academic work, preparing for kindergarten.  Brad attended this end of year party,

because Grandmere came into town today and I had to pick her up from the airport!  A few months ago, she was getting ready to buy tickets to come here sometime in May, and was preparing to spend almost triple what we randomly found tickets for!  She'll be here for a week, and we'll celebrate Leiden's birthday and just hang out.  She's excited to be away from the stressful things happening at home with getting ready to move.  We're so excited to have her here.  We love visitors.
