Father's Day Fishing!

We love our Daddy! We celebrated the weekend in Atlanta at Grandpa Enzo's Lake... swimming, boat rides, fishing and Daddy's mojitos!

OK so I accomplished a very big thing in my mommy world... taking all 3 boys on my own down to St. Simons Island for a beach trip! Granted I wasn't alone the whole week we were down there. But a 6 hour drive was a feat in itself. Obviously those prayers were working because Colt slept the entire drive! It was such a great time and I know we created a memory for years to come. Aunt Michelle's (my sister-in-law) family lives there and were so generous to let us stay down there with them. Caleb and Cae had a blast with thier " cousin-in-laws". Needless to say Michelle and I were wore out. Who knew 7 kids could have so much energy from sunrise to sunset? I went non stop and didn't get as many great photos as I should have. So check out http://www.reutersfamilyfun.blogspot.com/ !

End of Soccer Season

Well our Caleb graduated from Kindergarten and is now a " 1st Grader" ( which he has made sure everyone knows since the last day of school!). Looking back at when I started this blog, my first entry was Caleb's 1 st day of school. And now I'm even more overwhelmed that his whole 1st year has passed. Everyone told me once they start school time flies...and now I fully understand what they mean. On a level his last day was even more emotional than his 1st for me. The year was so full of momentous " firsts" like losing teeth, reading books on his own, field trips, soccer games, class holiday parties and so so much more! I can only pray I soaked in, enjoyed and will remember more than the blurr of their activities. Of course I try not to be to hard on myself, considering I've had my share of "firsts" doing the mommy thing with 3 little ones instead of 2!

" The little brothers of the soccer team!"

We can't forget our Cae Bug, who faithfully did every practice and game with Caleb like he was on the team! Next year he'll be old enough to play on his own team for the 1st time.

Boy's Bike Race

This was Cae's 1st year riding in the annual Athens Twighlight Criterium! It was Caleb's 3rd year. But this time Daddy got to follow Cae close behind, while Caleb got to ride solo. It's a weekend of festivities and races that ends with an evening bike race through downtown Athens. Just before the main race they have a " Children's Parade" when kids get to ride one lap. Grandpa Greg and Nonna came up from Atlanta to cheer them on and be our photographer. It's always a fun time and nostalgic for Mommy and Daddy since it was our 1st date 13 years ago! Things sure have changed since that 1st date!
