Fresh and Clean Kids

Who doesn't love a clean kid? 

Logan is in love with his Elmo slippers and has been seen traipsing around with them and would prefer to wear these to church than his church shoes. I'm sure he could get away with them. 

This one is named, "Mo-mo!" (Elmo) And the other  one is named,  "A mo-mo." (Other Elmo)

The only times he sits still are when he is reading books or sleeping.  He likes to read books by himself rather than having you read to him, but wants you to keep reading while he's reading another book. I don't get it either. 

This girl has lost a tooth, broken an arm, and graduated Kindergarten all within a couple of weeks of each other. The cast does not stop her from her dare devil stunts, mind you. She's giving me a run for my money. 

How can you not want to kiss that cute face? He has learned to count to 100 and can read sight words... and will be going to Kindergarten next year!!! We are all pretty darn excited especially since he had to be tested and observed at preschool and they rarely let those who don't make the cutoff get in. We are thrilled! I keep telling Dylan that he can't go to Kindergarten because I will be lonely and here are his reasons why he is ready for Kindergarten:

Sorry there are no Haley-post-shower pics. She says she is too old for those. What?! Okay, so she has a point. 

Conroys come

A little background about the Conroys. One day I get an email from a friend who puts me in touch with Amy who is moving to Budapest and had a baby around the same time as me. She seems nice and a lot like me. She asks about my preschool and we make plans to have Rowan, the one with the REALLY long tongue in the picture below, come to preschool in the fall when they arrive. The first day at work Amy is talking to someone who is welcoming her to the embassy and she tells him about how Rowan is going to my preschool and the man says, "Oh great. That's my wife!" 

We are sooo glad to meet them and have them be a part of our Budapest experience. Good friends come and go, but lifelong friends will never really leave. They just get stationed temporarily out of sight. 

And since it's only a 4 hour drive from Budapest, we got to see them twice already since we moved here. Lucky us. 

The whole crew. See what I mean about his tongue? Crazy long, huh? 

Charlie is in LOVE with trains, so we had to bring them to the Train Restaurant where trains bring your drinks to your table. The kids were captivated. 

There is an overlook at the restaurant where the kids can go and see all the trains busy at work. The kiddos can even see the servers loading and unloading them.

These two boys are the best of friends! Dylan misses him so. 

The menfolk. The two on the right ran a half marathon this same morning. And they were smiling! 

Crazy, fun boys dancing in the streets of Prague. They were being egged on by some tourists who also took pictures of our fun boys. Kind of weird to take pics of other people's kids, but the boys didn't mind. 

Trying to get the boys to sit still for a picture. 

Almost possible... maybe... 

Getting closer... 

Nope. Not this time. And that tongue is out of control!!! 

They can have fun anywhere, anytime, as long as they are together. 

It's fun that these two can now actually play together instead of just observe each other at a distance. 

We love the Conroys! Come back!!
