Kindergarten Graduation

Ethan "graduated" from kindergarten in May. Personally for me, it was a very sad day, but Ethan went around telling everyone that he was a "first grader now"! His teacher, Mrs. Barnes was the epitome of a Christian teacher. I wish that she would move up with Ethan throughout his school years because our family absolutely adore her. Ethan received an award for "A" Honor Roll and Punctuality. He has learned so much coming out of kindergarten. Not only can he read and write cursive, but he came away with memorizing several scriptures. Coupled with AWANA verses, this kid can spit out some scripture! He has said for the last two years that he wants to be a Preacher and a tennis player, so who knows!

Ballerina

Emerson took ballet from September 2010 until May 2011. She didn't love it, but she danced beautifully none the less. She participated in her first dance recital and totally rocked her routine. We have taken a break this year from it, but who knows what next year holds. Don't get me wrong, she loves her babies and all things girly, but I have a feeling that my little girl will not be afraid to get dirty!

Ethan's First Field Trip

Ethan went on his first real field trip to the Reptile Lagoon at the South of the Border in May. He enjoyed hanging out with Spencer, Nate Robertson and Emerson. However, I think his favorite part about the entire day was riding the bus!

Happy 4th!

First Presbyterian Weekday School Spring Sing

Emerson participated in her first Spring Sing this year. It consists of a few songs from each class and a silent auction. She was so excited and did an excellent job! She is really becoming a big girl which is so very bittersweet.

Easter 2011

Easter was busy, but fun this year. We set up an Easter Egg Hunt at Emerson's school in a neighbor's yard for her class. The yard was so beautiful that you truly felt like you were in Charleston. Later that weekend, my friend, Ashley and I had an Easter Egg Hunt at our house for all of the children. They had a ball.

Georgia

In March, my mom, RT, the kids and I all met my sister and nephews in Georgia for a week. Both of our husbands flew to Atlanta halfway thorugh the week and we were able to explore Atlanta for the day. It was so nice to see my family since they are now living in Washington. I always envy people who have their family close. We did not know much about the location in Georgia, but chose it because it was a halfway point. We explored a bit, but mostly just hung out together. Next stop, Washington! I hope to make that trip next summer. Not sure why this is blue and is underlined, but I don't have the time to fix it.
