Last day of preschool

It takes a village to raise a child - Robin and I are so grateful for all the amazing ladies from the University of Northern Iowa Child Development Center! Between Lucy and the Twins, we spent there eight wonderful years. One cannot put a price on the amount of love, experience, skills, and self confidence our children got from them. Thank you Chelssi Danielle DonnaAimee Leann Heather Lisa Candice Gwen Shirley Jessica Jessie LexieChristy Emily Allison KT Shelby Tera Whitney Elizabeth Hillary and many MANY other people that prepared my children to face the world. They are UNI CDC kids, and they are purple for life!

Preschool graduation

Lili and her bike tricks

Lili's First Mountain Bike Race

She wiped out and didn't finish, but she was brave enough to start with boys twice her age. Next year she will beat them 

twins life :-)

St. Louis City Museum Adventure

Words can't describe and pictures can't truly capture the diversity of experiences and the amount of fun that this place provides. Enchanted caves, a giant tree house, circus, art studio, ten story slide, aquariums, ferris wheel on the rooftop... every bit of this place is awesome! Definitely a favorite spot to revisit.

Lili was playing so hard in a tree house that she got blisters on her palms! She was also fearless in climbing everywhere.

The Gateway Arch

We visited The Gateway Arch! 

 It is a 630-foot (192 m) monument in St. Louis in the U.S. State of Missouri.
