Movin' On Out

We are moving... again this summer. This time not just across town, but across the state. After waiting 2 months to complete school, play baseball and get into the new house, we get to join Lant in Vincennes. The kids took off for a week long vacay in Iowa with Boppa and Papa Jim (wish I could go), and Lant left for work. So that leaves me to watch the movers put our life in boxes and load it onto a semi. So thankful they are doing the packing and not me! I get the joy of unwrapping everything on the other end. It will be like Christmas, kinda. Here's what I see today. V-town here come the Dorans.

Championship Game

To wrap up baseball, Geller Farms played in the Championship Game. Holyn was a slugger (and everyone kind of expects her to hit it on the first try) and Mr. Max got a base hit. He proudly ran to first as they called it foul. After a little convincing, he left the base and ran back home for another try. But, no go. Holyn got another hit her second time up to bat. She has really gotten the hang of baseball and loved it. Unfortunately, our team lost, but finished first in wins for the season. They accepted their trophies with red and blue lips (Thanks Coach Troy for the Icees after the game!) and smiles. Another great season in the books!

Lordy, Lordy, Look Who's Forty!!

We celebrated a few times in Disney, but today is the day. Boston Creme Pie and 40 candles are in our near future. (And probably a bit of Star Wars Wii). We love you Lant.

We Are Outta Here!!

Wish us luck, we are on our way to the Mouse House. Can't wait to share all our Disney memories when we return!

Love, the Dorans

Goodbye Kindergarten!

Today is the day, the last day of school for our big girl. After a wonderful couple days of learning and play this week, it has come to an end. We love you Mrs. Picco, we will really miss you. Thank you for everything. It has been a pleasure to volunteer and watch you shape the lives of these adorable kids. We will miss the smiling faces at Arcola everyday and most of all our friends we have made.

Graduated!

My baby has graduated from Pre-School. Its official, yesterday Max put on the blue cap and shook hands with our dear teacher Mrs. Hobbs (we will miss you terribly, we love you like family). The kids sang songs and recited the Pledge of Allegiance also. After too many cookies (some running around) and some great sherbet punch we all headed to CEC (Chuck E. Cheese's for those of you without kids) for more fun. We are definitely going to miss our school buddies (and I am going to miss my parent friends). Thank God for Facebook~

Game #6

Game 6 on Monday was a no-go. The red team only had 5 players show up (probably because we are so good - no just kidding). So the coaches evened up the teams with some of our players and they played anyways. Holyn got two hits (yay Holyn!!), Max - yeah, what can I say. He fell asleep in the car on the way over to the game, and didn't really wake up until the 2nd inning. He finally decided to bat (after being threatened with not seeing the Wii for a couple weeks). He is getting really close but didn't get a hit. Hopefully things will go better tonight.
