Ballerina...or at least a born performer!

Greta's ballet recital was this morning so I couldn't resist putting up a few pics. Recital is kind of a strong word for what transpired this morning. She walked across the floor, did a little jumping, a little twirling...that about sums it up. I'm not sure she's a natural...but she did enjoy being on stage (no surprises here). The pictures give it some expression, but when we can get the video posted you will see that the majority of our "show" was really thumbs ups and blowing kisses to our adoring crowd. Seriously. They did do one brief scarf dance. Greta kept her scarf wadded in a ball pretty much the whole time. When it was time to bow, Greta busied herself with tying the scarf around her neck in a stylish fashion. Oh. My. Have a giggle...and enjoy the live show here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EumSh84yL2E

You're welcome....

May Days

The warm weather finally came! It has, of course, disappeared in true MN fashion. But hopefully next week we will be returning to the 60s and 70s (that's normal for this time of year, folks). We celebrated Tyler's 33rd birthday and Mother's Day in one big shebang on the 8th. Greta had her LAST day of her first year of preschool (the reality will grab her next week...). She had an amazing class and an amazing teacher...she has always bounded right into class without looking back. I hope we'll run into her classmates at the park this summer! Wes appears to have his umpteenth ear infection- which if confirmed this afternoon- means tubes for our handsome boy. After what feels like our standard weekly Friday afternoon doctors visits this spring, we are now ready for tubes if that is what it takes to rid Wesser of these ear infections. You wouldn't believe how pleasant he is even when he has a raging infection. What a love. He's choosing to walk over crawling almost all the time now. We're still waiting for more words, but he is chatty in his own way too. Tyler has been uber busy at work. All good things but he is tired. He is starting a DMin in preaching this summer and is excited to have time in the classroom again. I hope it will be revitalizing rather than one more thing on his already busy plate. I have been busy getting summer programming ready to go and figuring out what I'm going to be doing with my beautiful babes this summer. Summer freedom is both exciting and overwhelming with 2 busy kiddos. I know it will be great. Here are a few pics of us out and about in the sun. HOPEFULLY there will be more to come soon!
