Matt's grandmother, Donna's mother, Imogene (Eichinger) Herrin, passed away in May. She was a wonderful grandmother and vibrant, classy lady. I got to spend many good times with her in my time in the Baranko/Eichinger family, and she was always very welcoming and kind to me. In the last several years of her life she suffered from Alzheimer's and I know it was hard on Matt's Mom and Dad, as well as all the other family members, to watch her slip away. She is at peace now, though, and we celebrate her beautiful life.
This week back in May Claire graduated from preschool! Cannot believe our baby is done with preschool and will be going to Kindergarten in the Fall. After 5 years of Kinderhaven Preschool Academy we say goodbye to that wonderful school, and Matt and I are officially done with the kids-in-preschool chapter of our lives in general, which feels very strange. We are proud of our smart and beautiful baby girl!
