This school year flew by, as they all seem to.
(First day of First Grade.... And the last.)
Somehow we managed to complete another school year without having to visit the truancy court in our district. We were close though, and received a couple of "friendly reminders" about the importance of Her Highness being to school on time. I was preparing my statement, ready to throw Her Highness under the bus and plead insanity, should we have gone before the judge: "Well, your Honor, you see..... ummm... well, come on! It's only first grade! And it's actually all Her Highness' fault because the child will not get going in the mornings. And why does school have to start so early anyway?? What's up with the tardy bell ringing at 7:30?? I'm up half the night with these five crazy kids, so it's really hard for me to get going too. So, ummm......I plead insanity!!"
We wrapped up our t-ball season undefeated. Technically, they don't even keep score, but Thunder proudly announced after every game, "We won!" If winning means we had a ball (pun intended) then yes, we did win every game.
Lazy days at the lake.....

Her Highness got engaged during one of the games. This handsome little fella and Her Highness became big buddies from the very start. I explained to his Momma that for Her Highness to even acknowledge his presence was a big deal, since she lives in a house filled to the brim with testosterone, she normally avoids other boys like the plague. But, this cute guy was persistent in getting her attention. During games they would laugh and flirt in the field and the dugout. After one game, the pursuer's Momma informed me, "We were in the car this week and he just blurted out, 'Mom, I asked Her Highness to marry me, and she said YES.'" Bert heard our conversation and called our future son-in-law over to have a little chat. No date has been set yet.
Now that we've wrapped up dance lessons, t-ball, and school we can't wait to fill our summer with trips to the zoo...
Hanging out by the pool.....
Lazy days at the lake.....
And long evening walks.....
All Summer long.
