Hold onto your seats...our "baby" has graduated! That's right, Zane graduated from preschool this Friday and is ready to move on to kindergarten! Funny how vividly I remember so many things...the day he was born, taking him to the ER, dropping him off at Jo's for the first day (crying all the way to work), watching him become a big brother, watching a million other "firsts" for him, sobbing as I left him with Ms. Michelle on the first day of preschool...and now...wiping away tears as he's growing up right before my eyes. I'd lie to you if I said I didn't cry at his graduation...it's a huge milestone...to me they all are! I couldn't be more proud of the young man he is becoming...we're so blessed!

| Seriously...doesn't this just sound WEIRD? |
Zane is so lucky to be surrounded by family that loves him SO MUCH! All four grandparents came down Friday evening to help his celebrate! Since Zane was only allowed 4 guests (including us), the papas stayed home with Mason and the grandmas went along. We wished we could have taken everyone, but it was nice to not have to worry about Mason not sitting still or being quiet during the celebration! Afterwards, we headed to Golden Corral for supper, then back home for a little bit. Thank you SO MUCH grandparents for all of the love and support you have given to all of us! We love you!

On another note...our dear hometown suffered a tornado Wednesday evening. Thankfully, noone was hurt, but lots of buildings and homes were. Many are beyond repair. Please keep Lenox, and all those affected, in your prayers. They will need it as they clean and rebuild. Here's a link to a news article with more details:

Mason's Marvels
Saturday evening Erika came over to watch the boys so Matt and I could have a "date night." Mason wanted to know if Lauren was coming over. I told him no, that she was too little to watch them and he said, "Oh, she's a baby?" I explained that no, she just wasn't old enough to watch them. Then the next day, when going to bed, I asked him who he would see at Jo's and he said, "Mom, is Lauren not a baby anymore?" I said she wasn't a baby, just not big enough to watch him alone and he said "Oh, she's a big boy now?" Man...can't get this one explained well I guess!
Yesterday as we dropped Zane off at Preschool, Mason looked over and said, "Bye my Zane Baker!" It was SO CUTE!
This morning Mason said, "Mom, where are you going?" I told him I was going to take him to Jo's house and he said, "That's not fair!" When I asked him why he said, "I want to go to Papa's house and ride the tractor!"
