Where in the world has the time gone?

My last post was the first of March.  With the exception of the bad weather, so much is changing.  It is now May and as we close up April, I had better get some photos out there.

The beginning of April was like Christmas for Moimes.  She has been patiently awaiting the day she could get her point shoes and it finally came.  She also completed her end of year recital where they performed Romeo & Juliet.  She was sad to miss both sets of grandparents at this special event.  Her dance was chosen by the local high school to be performed at one of their special events so I have posted it on YouTube for you to see.  You can only get to it by following this link because it is an unlisted movie.  Moimes is the first one out.  She is also one of the dancers in the first solo.  It has been fun to watch her love of ballet come out in her toes. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3I1a7z04abE


May brought Chill's birthday.  I decided that I had been a neglectful mom, having only thrown him one very small birthday party in nine years.  I had to enlist the help of Petey to create the invite.


Chill is a very special and unique individual.  Petey and I are thankful for his enthusiasm of life each and every day. He tends to get into trouble a lot but we realize this is just part of the curious nature he has about him.  We decided the best fit for a party for him was to have a marshmallow war.  We have a neighborhood full of great kids his age so it was a fun filled two hours spent with good friends, good weather (whew!!) and a bunch of flying marshmallows.



Lastly, we are thankful as the year ends for a successful school year.  Cola has really worked hard in junior high and we are so proud of him for good grades.  We have great teachers at our local schools and are so happy to be where we live.  I am looking forward to better weather and more sleep.
