our first family race!!
well, I guess it is a good sign that I'm so behind on pictures, it's now the end of July and I'm just working on the end of spring pics!! We have been busy as can be and loving every minute of it this summer. Lots of fun family time and LOTS of play!! I'll catch up little by little and start with our first race as a family.
I was just coming back from a badly sprained ankle so Dean ran the 5k (and placed 2nd? or 3rd? I can't remember! either way, he did great and we were all very impressed!!)
Quinn and I did the mile run and Kathryn and I did the fun run together.
It was at Birmingham Falls Elementary School (where Quinn will go to Kindergarten) and it was a great event, we will plan to do this every year!!

breaking news!!!
Our FIRST lost tooth in the Driskell house!!! Quinn lost her tooth in the middle of swimming lessons! Luckily her instructor saved it for her and we were all set for the Tooth Fairy. When her tooth first became loose, Quinn told me she would rather not have a tooth pillow, she wanted to decorate her own envelope for the Tooth Fairy. She was SO PROUD! she didn't want me to walk her into school the next day and she made Kathryn promise not to tell anyone, she wanted to show everyone on her own first. Love this girl & time is flying by too fast!!

| the tooth fairy brought Quinn 5 $1 wrapped in a fancy handkerchief and she was beyond thrilled ;) |

Happy Easter!!
What a great Easter we had this year, so fun-- our first holiday in the new house!!! And on Easter Sunday, I FINALLY broke out my camera to get a cute picture of the girls! Never fear Dean, I WILL find the tripod and we will have a family pic on the new stoop soon ;)




First, we'll start off with one of many egg hunts we had with friends earlier in the week. I didn't take pics at all of them, but what fun we had!! The neighbors went ALL out on their egg hunts!! This one was in Roswell at one of the historic homes

| Cooper and Quinn are usually the oldest, so they were so happy to have each other at the egg hunt |

| excuse the mess-- home in progress!!! painting & bookshelves coming soon |
So we went to Catholic Mass for the first time since the girls have really been old enough to sit in "Grown up church". We have been going to Northbrook, since they have a kids church. I was a little nervous about the girls attention span and an entire Catholic Mass, but they did INCREDIBLE! I packed them each a notebook and pen in case they got fidgety and told them they could "take notes" if they wanted. We sat right up front and their attentions did not waiver. I was so proud! Kathryn twirled to all of the songs and everyone around her commented at the end of mass on what a good dancer she was. And Quinn, well, her notes speak for themselves.
