Spelling Bee Champ!

Today Jacob became the spelling bee champion of Fox Hill Elementary first grade! There are 4 first grade classes, so that's probably about 85 or so kids. The winning word was "fields." He also spelled "electricity." Jacob seemed very proud of himself, as he should be!
Last weekend my cousin Emily got married, so we had a fun family wedding to attend. Here's Emily with her new husband, Jim:

Mary waiting patiently for her turn on the dance floor:
Jacob and I got to dance a special "mother-son" dance. Behind us is my aunt Charlene (mother of the bride) and her son (my cousin) Paul.
Finally Mary gets her turn to dance! Hannah is turning out to be quite a dancer, too... she loved this arrangement:
It's been gorgeous all week (now, of course, it's going to rain on the parade and race this weekend!). The kids have been having fun playing with some new outdoor toys:
Anything that involves water is always a big hit...

Hooray Jacob! I love the swimming beauties. So funny to see you in bathing suits eating watermelon when I am still wearing jeans and a sweater. Bring on summer!
