Maile’s Kindergarten graduation was on Friday afternoon – we’ll be talking about it more this week, but for tonight I thought these pictures captured all the thoughts going through my head about how fast and how much our little girl has grown up this year.
Here's Maile all ready for her Kindergarten graduation...
... and here she is on her very first day of Kindergarten last fall.
And to really blow your mind, here she is on her very first day of school in 2011. Wow.
She may be tiny, but she packs a mean punch!
Lauren’s new favorite thing is running after pigeons, and when she gets close, jumping at them and yelling “hi-ya”…
Yes, it’s as adorable as it sounds.

We’ve covered it here a few times before that Maile Girl is a bit … cautious … when it comes to heights. She’s up for her fair share of adventure, she just prefers to know a bit about what she is getting herself into.
Needless to say when Christine said she wanted to take the girls over to the climbing wall they had setup at a nearby park, I didn’t have high hopes – but Maile certainly proved me wrong … and I couldn’t be prouder!
Maile Girl getting her bearings - there's a long climb ahead.
And then up she went!
(Dad note: Lauren would like me to add that she was ready to rock the wall too, but they deemed her too light to partake. Next time, Lauren, next time…)

Lauren and Elena
Just something about this picture that I really love – Lauren and her best friend, Elena.
Have a great weekend!
I have to say, I’ve probably heard “Let It Go” hundreds (if not thousands) of times at this point.
But watching Lauren sing and perform never gets old for me….

We have a pretty set bedtime routine with the girls. That doesn’t mean it’s a smooth affair. Recently, Lauren has started to deploy delay tactics with Christine (the first line of defense for bedtimes).
With me, Lauren just basically asked for “Mommy” over and over again. I tell her I’ll go get Mommy if she lies down and closes her eyes. She typically does and I leave.
Unfortunately for Christine, she IS Mommy and for whatever reason, Lauren doesn’t ask for “Daddy” when Mommy is putting her down. Instead we get the following…
