Avery's dance recital! (sorry it took so long)

Recital

Avery's first recital!

Isn't she so darling in her tutu? She did such a great job, I was so proud. I wasn't sure how she would do on stage with so many people watching, we loved every minute of it! If I can figure out how to put video on my log, I'll have to post the performance! We'll see when that happens....

Avery's Graduation!

This was a big day for us! I can't believe how much time has flown by. Next year Avery starts Kindergarten- WOW! She did such a great job performing at her Pre-K graduation ceremony. She has met so many great friends and had wonderful teachers this year.

Discovery Zone Preschool will truly be missed!

Disney Minnie Marathon Weekend

"Women Run the World" 15K

So I decided to start training for the 15K (9.3 miles) a month before it started and luckily I had some great running buddies to help me with my training. I finished in 1:19:21 We had lots of fun and hopefully there will be many races to come.

MAY DAY

One tradition that Kevin's mom did with her children was celebrate May Day. On May 1st they would decorate baskets of flowers and put them on people's door knobs secretly. I thought it was a cute little tradition so we are keeping it alive.

During the day we decorated some water bottles and strung ribbon through them (so we could hang them on our neighbors doors) and then we filled them with water and fresh flowers. Avery and Boston decorated pictured and wrote "Happy May Day! Love, your secret friend".

Normally you leave the flowers on your neighbor's door in the early morning, but we waited for Kevin to get home so we could deliver them together. We picked four of our elderly neighbors, hoping they would remember this long lost tradition. Avery and Boston had a ball.! They giggled with excitement as we ran and hid from our neighbors. Kevin and I felt like we were kids again, afraid we were going to get caught. We had a great time.

Thanks for the fun activity Pat!
