It is the last day of June, so I figure I better post something...

These last few weeks have been super busy for the Conaway household.  The month of June was spent trying to get two houses ready to move.  We are currently renting a house in Porter, TX that we live in.  So we've been trying to pack up all of our stuff.  We also own a house in Houston that we rent out to other people.  We spent nearly every weekend this month down at that house (an hour drive away), cleaning up the yard and painting the outside, getting it ready to sell.  Moving is stressful enough, but dealing with two properties only makes it more so.  Thankfully, we have an offer on the Houston house, so hopefully it will be smooth sailing from here on out.

In other news, Addie finished first grade, and Charlotte finished Pre-K4.  They had an awards ceremony at school and Addie earned the writing award for her class and the music award for her grade level.  Charlotte earned the reading award for her class and the P.E. award for her grade level.  They both continue to do AMAZING in school and are both at the top of their classes.  Adeline has been off in her own little world these past few weeks.  She loves reading and, if she is not eating or sleeping, you'll most likely find her reading the Superfudge series on my Kindle.  Charlotte is also getting to be quite the amazing reader - she is able to read books all by herself now.

Emerson, as always, continues to crack us up.  She is still only saying a handful of words, but she is very expressive.  This face is my favorite...

 ... to see it in person you would think she was mad.  She balls up her fists, sticks out her bottom jaw, tightens all her muscles and shakes.  It makes us all laugh... so she does it more.
 After I took pictures of Emmy making her face, I tried to get the other girls to make silly faces.  Charlotte was happy to oblige... Addie just wanted to read...
