Graduation Day

E and S graduated from pre-school! They did not wear a cap and gown but they did walk down the aisle to "Pomp and Circumstance" and they did receive a "diploma". In between they put on a sweet program, singing lots of songs and performing all the motions. It was really a memorable morning and hard to believe the year is over. The girls' teachers were so wonderful and made the year really special and positive for the girls. They learned a ton and made some great friends, too!

Dance Recital

Loved watching the girls dance in their dance recital! I was backstage trying to occupy A LOT of excited children but it was so fun to watch the girls perform this year. They did a great job and C was part of an extra dance with just a few other dancers. She loved dancing twice and worked really hard at extra rehearsals. E and S loved their costumes - affectionately described to others as a combination of Elsa and Ariel! What could be better??!!

Birthday #5!

Five years old for E & S! We had a birthday party playdate at the park for E and S and some of their buddies. We had no idea it would be 80 plus degrees that day...wish we had been at the pool instead! They enjoyed their friends and of course loved their cake, too. What a day!

Soccer Season

The girls are loving playing soccer this year! Largely due to playing on teams with their cousins and having Brett and Uncle Tim for their coaches. Saturdays around here are a family affair with all the grandparents joining us as well. We love soccer Saturdays!

Kindergarten Orientation

So hard to believe!! E and S are off to kindergarten in the fall and recently attended orientation for next year! Their morning was full of fun - they met new friends and hung with some old ones too. And the morning was highlighted by a ride on the bus. Woohoo!

Getting Ready for Easter

We finally got to dye Easter eggs this year! And we also did an activity to prepare our hearts for Easter. Easter weekend is super busy for us every year, but it's so important to take time to be intentional about the real meaning of Easter and why we celebrate.

Getaway Day #2: Indy Children's Museum

This place was amazing! More than we could ever see and do in one visit, for sure. We spent a day at the Children's Museum and we were also thoroughly worn out by the end of the day. Some of our favorite exhibits: Lost Treasures, Dinosaurs, China, Hollywood: Behind the Scenes, Miniature Rooms, Transformers, and of course the indoor Carousel. Five floors of exhibits...I think we made it through only 2.5 floors. But it was time well spent and made for a great day!

Getaway Day #1: Indy Zoo

We decided to do a little family getaway during the girls' spring break and went to Indianapolis for two days. It was short but we did a lot! The first day we spent at the Indy Zoo. It was a beautiful day and we enjoyed seeing some familiar animals in a new setting. Lots of walking = tired girls!

More Time at the Park!

 And more friends!

Playing at the Park

 

We kicked off our spring break by playing at the park! It was a little chilly to start the week but we enjoyed picking flowers, checking out the creek and being together.
