Sarah's blessing

Our new little angel was given a name and a blessing by her father on Sunday, June 5th.  We were blessed to have lots of family with us.

 This is the closest we have ever come to getting an Erickson family photo.  Austin was taking a nap in his room, but I added him later.  Only the Nissens are missing.

 Sarah Joy brings so much happiness to our little family.

Mary's kindergarten graduation

Mary's first year of school has been delightful.  We can't believe it's already over.

The kids put on an adorable show for the parents.  Mary is in the top row, left side.

  

Afterwards, we watched a slide show in Mary's classroom.

Here is Mary with her teacher, Mrs. Wells.

Here is Dad with our little graduate.

Our Mary has grown up so much this year.  She is a very smart and kind young lady.  We are so proud of her.

 

Anna's joy school graduation

Anna has had a blast this school year doing joy school with some neighborhood friends.  Last week, she graduated.

She requested "curly hair and sparkly pink nail polish."

The kids performed some joy school songs.

 

Look at this little dancer!

It was a little chilly for popsicles, but that didn't stop the kids!

Dad kept Sarah nice and warm.

We're very proud of our Anna.  She is learning and growing so much.
