our little ballerinas  

Posted by Aaron and Lisa

We have been busy the last few days with the Peter Pan ballet! 
We are so proud of Vivian and Kate...they did great...big smiles, no cold feet or anxiety, kept up with the choreography, and oh so precious! 
On Friday afternoon before the rehearsal, we went by a salon that our friend works at to do a trial run for their hair. I didn't feel confident in my ballet bun-making abilities, especially with Kate's hair being so short, so I asked for help!

 I took these pictures because I was so thankful for great big sisters who make it their goal, joyfully, to entertain the toddler brother who is getting frustrated about being stuck in a stroller...with his favorite songs. Right now it's "Where is Thumbkin?"

 Success! Thanks Samantha!

 And today was the ballet at the Jefferson Center. Uncle Joey, Aunt Natasha, cousin Olivia, and our friend Stephanie joined us to watch.
 Kate was a little fairy and she danced with Tinker Bell. Vivian was a bluebird and did her dance with Wendy, John, and Michael.



 I couldn't pick between all of these posed pictures so they're all here!









 Olivia did awesome during the two hour performance!


Great memories from today...so thankful for healthy girls who love to twirl and gallop and spin and take bows and melt my heart! 
Ballet is an enjoyable thing for us in this season of life with these girls. I am loving the time each week during their classes to sit with and get to know other moms or moms I'm already close with, and Hank loves all the attention he gets in the waiting room from all of the older ballerinas, and of course V and K love every part of it! The performance today was really special for us!

muffins for mom

Vivian invited me to her class this morning for a Mother's Day celebration. Everything about it was so sweet.
I brought my two little sidekicks.

Thank you, Mrs. Parks, for treating us! And thank you sweet Vivian Gray, for all my gifts!

low country boil

 We loved having the praise team and band over one evening recently to eat and play music!


 Eddie was the master chef for the low country boil, and Anna Marie did the prep for the food...thanks!
 I love Cohen's excited face here...he was telling Vivian about all the chicks at his house, Ashely :(

Y-town  

Posted by Aaron and Lisa

We have enjoyed being new members at the Salem YMCA. There are so many things happening there for kids all the time. For us, so far we have just taken advantage of the regular child watch, which is great for hank because it gives him practice with being away from me and he can play with different toys and meet new friends. But we also visit the Y-town that they have open on Tuesdays after the weights class I do. It's hard to explain, but they have it divided into play areas like a grocery store, doctor's office, bakery, rock wall, etc. It's like a little town! Here's a picture of hank with the new mini pool table they had last week, which he stayed close to the entire time. 


This summer, Vivian is signed up for one of their art clinics! So much to do there and I am loving the time to walk on the treadmill or see friends in classes!

joey's birthday  

Posted by Aaron and Lisa

We celebrated Joey's birthday on Sunday afternoon outside at our house!
It was a beautiful beautiful day, and mom grilled pork chops and ribs, and brought potato salad...perfect combo :)
Joey is 33!
 Michael's friend Nicole came to join us and brought these sweet gifts from Janie and Jack: sunglasses and these precious hats for the girls!
And she brought Hank his bathing suit for this summer!

 Can I hold her hand, Papa?



 Yummmm...asparagus on the grill.

 Vivian tested Uncle Stephen with BrainQuest. Who remembers BrainQuest? It's still around!

 Pretty in pink :)
 Kate helped with the sprinkles on the cupcakes...she needed to stay inside for some of the party because her allergies were getting so bad! Can you see it in her eyes? That was the worst day so far. She is much better now...

 Happy birthday, Joey!
