Field Day!!!!

Ah, Field day! The marking of the end of the year. The day after which no student will focus on any subject unless it includes candy or popsicles. The beginning of the survival of the fittest for teachers who must endure the approximatly 8 or 9 days of chaos left in the school year, while trying to maintain their sanity. The heat, the competition, the fun! Here are some of Sophia's first field day memories!

Broadway, here she comes....

Sophia and her sister and cousins performed in the school talent show last week! She was adorable of course. Here is the first evidence of what will surely be a successful career in showbiz....

Caleb watched his sister with pride and admiration and then retreated to a place that all of the adults only wished that they could go.

It was probably 98 degrees in the auditorium and Sophia's act was the third of an hour and 15 minute long show! Needless to say ... it was wonderful, and I can't wait until the next school performance. What else can the mother say right?

May Daze

I guess the great weather has gone to my head because I have been letting my son run wild with this crazed military/indian warrior haircut. It really does look cute when I put gel in it but today it just added to the wild gleam in his eye to make him look totally out of his mind! He had so much fun outside I think he would have loved to just sleep out there tonight. The ice cream man even came by to make it just the epitome of a summer day! Sophia is in a talent show at school this week so I'll post the pictures this weekend! I can't wait she's such a little performer. I may even try to get really wild and post a video. If I can figure out how to do that!

Mass Communication

Okay, so many of you were shocked to see me on facebook, and now, I am blogging. 6 months ago I didn't even know what a blog was. Thank you to Mary Beth Spann for her excellent tutelage in this area. She has an awesome blog! Anyway, the very word blog sounds repulsive, but I am trying to share our "stuff" with everyone in the easiest way. So, I have tried facebook, but I am overwhelmed with keeping up with all of the "friend requests" " wall writings" "groups" etc. so I am now trying to share our "stuff " this way. We'll see how this turns out. So far I have been able to set this up with ease and have not had to share any personal info so I'm happy. I hoep everyone is doing well. I really have nothing to post now so I will just put my favorite recent picture of the kids and leave you until something exciting happens in our life.
