Here are pictures of Noelle on her first day of school and her final day of school.
She looks like such a little girl in the first picture! I've also decided she looks better with short hair so I think we'll take off a few inches this week.

Noelle's Final Day of Preschool
Today was Noelle's last day of Preschool. We enjoyed seeing her closing program and sadly saying good-bye to her wonderful teacher.
Here are pictures of Noelle on her first day of school and her final day of school.

Why?
I thought kids didn't start the never-ending "Why?" question until they were 3. Someone forgot to tell Sadie the rules and she's started 8 months early.
Why?
I don't know.
Why?
I just don't know.
Here's a conversation I had with Noelle on the way to preschool this morning:
Me: It's a nice day, maybe you'll get to play on the playground today.
N: Maybe but the swings are always "A limits".
Me: The swings are what?
N: A limits. We're not allowed to go on them because of the puddles.
Me: Ohhh, they're off limits?
N: Yes, off limits. Maybe today they'll be "on limits".
I had to agree...if something can be "off limits" it only makes sense that at some point they will be "on limits".
Why?
I don't know.

Elizabeth-the-Great
My sister-in-law, Elizabeth, does not have any royal blood (that I know of), but she certainly earned the title Elizabeth-the-Great this past Saturday. She too ran in the 10k that the Spence men ran. That alone awards her high honors but the part that earns her the esteemed title is that she ran (yes, ran) the 6.2 miles only 3 months after giving birth to their son Noah.
And the final kicker... she successfully trained for this event while taking care of a newborn AND her older son who is a mere 14 months older then this younger brother. I'm just glad I can say I'm related to her!

Here she is (in yellow) on the final stretch, just seconds before she finished strong.

"Apple Blossom Festival" in Virginia
We returned yesterday from a lovely time in our hometown, Winchester VA. Every May our town has an "Apple Blossom Festival". Our family enjoys going and taking in the 10k race and the 2 parades; a fireman's parade on Friday evening and the Grand Feature Parade on Saturday. Here are some pictures:
Watching the Firemen's Parade which involved dozens of firetrucks and marching bands. Sadie sat like this for the first half hour, just staring at all the sites. Next to her are cousin Payton, cousin Nolan, aunt Jenelle (can't see her), Grammy Sauder and Pappy Sauder.
Grammy and Sadie, snuggling during the parade.

Noelle and her cousins, Kalysta and Payton
Brad and Janelle taking advantage of the wisteria backdrop in mom & dad Sauder's yard.
Brad and his dad (in yellow) running the 10k Saturday morning. I'm in the pink tank top with the long lean thighs (Ha, Ha, I crack myself up). Actually you'd have better luck finding me at the Funnel Cake stand in the background.
Sadie, watching the race
David, Ken and Brad Spence after the race, sporting their cool shirts sponsored by David (a Realtor) and a few friends.
Noelle and Grandma Spence enjoying the Grand Feature Parade on Saturday. This parade we enjoyed in the yard of some Spence friends, complete with a food buffet.
After all of our festivities, Grandpa Spence thought Sadie looked a little hungry. He dished her up a man-sized steak which she dove into without a blink...we took it away after the photo op.
