Preschool graduation

It's hard to believe but Liz had her preschool graduation on Friday night and will be starting Kindergarten this fall.

We've finally found the fire-wire, instrumental for downloading our own pictures. So, without further ado, here's some Liz pics from recent weeks. We'll end with a couple from the preschool graduation. It was dark in there and the video turned out much better but the few pics we got were cute.

Here are some pictures from our camera of the carnival at University of Chicago in Mid May. Here's Liz with her aunt Helen and Cousin Stephen. Helen and Liz are showing off their orange wrist-bands, which allow them to go on one of the inflatables.



Here's another great shot of Liz's face painted with that adorable butterfly. I love that photo.



Brian and Liz enjoy a train ride at the carnival at University of Chicago.



A great picture of Liz and Brian at the carnival.



Liz wears her new Princess helmet and knee pads with her traditional tricycle for her Trike-A-thon a week ago. The proceeds went to St. Jude's Children's Hospital.



Daddy adjusts the Princess helmet to ensure it meets proper Trike-A-Thon regulations.



Now, she's trying on the brand new Princess bike at the trike-a-thon and taking it out for a spin.



Liz, our budding photographer took this photo of me. At the time I was 5 1/2 months pregnant.



Earlier this month, Brian and Liz practice softball and T-ball in the backyard.



She's practicing her batter's stance and looking at Daddy to see if she's got it right.



For Mother's Day we went to Goshen and spent some time with my family. Here's a shot of the ladies.



Liz and that smile.



Here's Liz and her preschool buddies, the Koalas. These pictures were dark but even though it may look like she's taking a pick here, I believe she was following the motions of the song. They performed a poem and sang several songs.



Here's our preschool graduate afterward quite proud. She then proceeded to munch on cookies and punch from cups that said, "09 grad."

Liz and Taylor are both heading up to Kindergarden this fall! You got some great pictures! Did Liz rub the dandelion on her upperlip to cause that yellow spot? Way to go with the bike-a-thon!
