First week of June 2025

Just as May was crazy, June started off crazy busy as well. Isaac got the chance to umpire a few little league games this season. 

Thomas had a piano recital on June 1st. 

It's light so late in the summer. 

June 2

The girls weren't out of school yet, but the boys were so it was time to get our summer routine going. I made check lists for them each and added to the chores. This summer was different because I was covering a maternity leave at the hospital all summer. It started two week before school got out and it would end the week before they went back. So I was working Wed my normal day in St. Paul Radiology 7am-2pm and then added on a Thursday and Friday shift in Minneapolis surgery 6:15am-11:30am. On top of that I would teach a barre class on Monday mornings and Saturday mornings. So busy summer for mama to be working. 

June 3rd Isaac started football camp, Thomas and I had a date nearby while we waited on him. 

June 5th girls had their 5th grade graduation ceremony.

 

We continued the celebration with a trip to the beach after school 

Isaac had an away game that night and it was the FIRST game his team had won! 

June 6th was the last day of school for the girls. Goodbye 5th grade, goodbye Kenwood. Isaac started at this school in Kindergarten before we moved to Kansas in September of 2017. All my kids had kindergarten at this school and now this marks the end of another era. The three big kids have moved on to Middle School and Thomas is going to the elementary next to their school. 

 

 

Here they are the day the girls started Kindergarten:
