Happy Zander Day

Amazing... it was four years ago today we returned from Seoul and officially welcomed Zander into our family. So many cherished memories, and we can hardly believe our little guy is already a Preschool Graduate!
The family had a great time at Zander's recent graduation ceremony. Our soon-to-be-kindergartner enjoyed celebrating with friends Brendan, Charlie, Henry, and Merrick:
  Singing a spirited rendition of 'Let It Go'...
Congratulations from Nannie!
 Go Big Brother!!
Zander continues to love playing Tball - he was thrilled that today's practice included transition from the tee to 'coach pitch'!  Here's the crew:

Good game!
Zander is also playing soccer this summer and is having a lot of fun with it:

Go, Z!
Let's go Zander!
 Nice hustling!
Daddy, Brendan, and Zander:
All done!
We love you Zander!!  Life continues to be an adventure with you and we wouldn't change a thing!
