The Updike's

 Cute Boston working on his final school project.  Biome = Rainforest.  LAST DAY OF SCHOOL!!!!!  YAY!!!!  Crew "sailed" into first grade with his kindergarten class.  They made homemade boats and sailed them in the kiddie pool.  Kindergarten picnic after the boat sailing. Now Bring on Summer!!

 Lily and her cute friends - London, Sophie, Leila I think we have officially hit the "Don't embarrass me, mom," stage with Lily.  She loves for me to go to her events - but if you try to give her sunscreen and help her out with something . . . that is a big no no now.  It kind of makes me sad - but I also know she is just growing up and wanting her independence. Crew and his cute friends - Sam, Zach, Roman.  Boston and his buddy, Cohen  Where Lily doesn't need her parents around all of the time - Our Boston boy does.  He wanted me to take a picture of him doing every event.   One of Boston's friends, Max, has a sweet little sister that has down syndrome.  She is truly a light to everyone that meets her.  She used to blow me kisses every time she saw me.  Talk about melting my heart.  I love how Boston just gravitates towards her and he loves to play with her....
