Hannah's graduation from Emerson!

 Gemma and Hannah found the dress-up box!

 Hannah and Mason worked on this beautiful cake one morning.  Here, they share it with me!

 Mason and Hannah adored having Hailey over for a play date.  Look how well she sits up!

 Mason, are you asleep?! 

 We had phenomenal weather for a hike up Mount Kearsarge.  Hannah has been excited to get to the top, since we departed too late in the day last summer when we tried hiking it.

 Ladies, smile!

 Beauty, smile!

Friday = Family Fun Night!  Here the kids munch on pizza and watched

Spring into Warner festival: Hannah's first dance recital in her costume and in front of an audience.

 Hannah warms-up with a little dance prior to the start of the event.

Flower dance.  They start out as seeds, as you can see here.

Dancing flowers!

Aunt Nickie came down to see the event and she brought Hannah a bouquet of daffodils to congratulate her.

Hannah and Mason had a fun time with Raquel.

Having to say goodbye is not fun, but we look forward to our next visit already.

Mason and Hannah enjoy sitting perched on the stools, drawing, while I prepare dinner.

 LOVE THIS!  You two were snuggled up so cuddly on this couch.  

 Hannah's last day of school meant that she could share everything with Mason.  She made sure to check-off a lot of things, including the paint, which she is particularly fond of. 

Graduation ceremony about to commence.

Director of Emerson, Susan Hagner, tells the students that she is very proud of all their hard work from this year. 

Hannah hugs teacher Kristen, who has been with her for the past two years.

A second hug for Frances, who lead Hannah's small group this year.  Frances' daughter, Lilian, came during the last week of school at Emerson to talk about what Kindergarten is like.  Hannah really enjoyed hearing about this.  Frances has also been instrumental in guiding us through the decision to send Hannah to kindergarten as opposed to doing a third year of preschool.

Let's read a book!

Lunch at Beech Hill Farm (pre - ice cream)

The sandpit is always a happening place.  Hannah, Grace and Mason played very nicely together and also with other children.

Finally, ice cream!  What a perfect day for it!
Thank you, Auntie Kate, Uncle Shane and Cousins Grace and Luke for coming north to play with us!
