Happy Father's Day!

We have a lot to be thankful for on Father's Day! Casey does so much to love and support us. We could not have a better father & husband!!

On Stephan's last day of school, he wore Casey's old Blackhawks jersey after the teams big win. Have I mentioned that we recently bought him shirts from the men's department? Sigh. He is dangerously close to being taller than his mother! Yet we still call him "The Little Man," although, less and less. He is, after all, almost 12 and not little. Double sigh. Stephan finished off the school year strong with a great report card full of A's & B's, excellent scores on all of the standardized tests they did this year, and really positive comment from his teachers. We are so proud of all he accomplished during his first year of middle school!

End of the season

GO PALERMO!

Today was Stephan's final game of the year! We have been so proud of his great sportsmanship. Norah has taken to Pooh Bear. He used to belong to Stephan. I believe Casey bought it for him when Stephan was two to bring to school for nap time. Lately Norah latches on to one stuffed toy for 2-3 days and takes it everywhere until she decides it is another toy's turn.

Stephan's coach hosted a fun bbq at his house after the game to celebrate their winning spring season. Norah kept calling it "the garden party." They had swings so she was all set!

Coach Miller said nice words about each of the players and gave them a medal. He commented on Stephan's height & strength and that he can depend on him to play offense or defense. He looks forward to having Stephan on his U-14 team next year after two years of coaching him on U-12. We were glad that Stephan has been with such a nice coach and a great group of kids!
