One day recently on the way to drop off Will at my parents, I swung by the barn in their neighborhood and snapped a few shots of him. He is just so much fun to be around right now - even if he NEVER stops talking!!!

Spring Fling
I had such a special treat to get to be with my lifelong friends for a night this spring. The girls and moms got together at Becky's house for dinner and fellowship. I don't remember laughing that much in such a long time. I will never get over the privilege and comfort of being with these girls and moms. We have something so special, and it will always be one of my greatest gifts.

Open House 2011
I have always loved Open House as a child, and it is no different now that I have kids. They held it during the day this year and staggered the times because of the construction at the school, so I got to spend the day up there with my kids in each of their classrooms. In Kindergarten they featured their unit on Dinosaurs. It was adorable!
In 2nd Grade, they featured their Famous American unit and had their Famous American Museum day. Caroline chose Laura Ingalls Wilder for her project and dressed up like her for Open House. All the kids stood frozen in the room and had a button on their hand. When a spectator went up and pushed a button, the Famous American would come to like and tell you a little bit about themselves. I was so impressed with all the costumes and presentations.
Allison's class showed off artwork and had the parents take some "tests". Let's just say I was glad that Grandpa was there for some of the Geometry questions. They were already a little over my head!

A Night Out
We don't use sitters very often besides Gram and Grandpa, but when we do, Allie Small is always our first choice. Allie is Shari's daughter, and we all just adore her. The kids have so much fun with her. Their favorite things to do are drawing, watching movies, doing hair, and putting on concerts. We are super lucky to have Allie in our lives. Here are few pictures I grabbed the last time she came over.
Upward Basketball
I mentioned back in January that Caroline and Will played Upward Basketball this winter at Southlake Boulevard Presbyterian Church and loved it! This was Will's first season and Caroline's 2nd. It is such a great program both with teaching the fundamentals of basketball and making it a Christ centered time. We had a lot of fun each week watching their games and seeing them receive "stars" after the game for everything from strong offensive performance to best effort to most Christ-like. Here are some photos that highlight the season. I'm still working on getting good photos in a gym with poor lighting and lots of movement!
