May --At Least So Far!
May is always a fun month with the school year winding down and spring weather. Here is what we've been up to.
A few month ago, the kids started taking piano lessons from a lady in our neighborhood. It is working out really well since we struggled having regular lessons when I was their piano teacher. It was just too easy to put off lessons until we had more time (a.k.a. SKIP!). They each did well at their piano recital. Ethan performed "Mary had a Little Lamb" after only about three weeks of lessons.
Megan, Amanda and Jared had their track meets.
Ethan sang in his 1st grade program and had a little speaking part.
Rebecca likes to be outside and the other kids like to push her in the swing. The other day, they rocked Rebecca right to sleep!
Joshua finished preschool. This means I also finished preschool since I taught every fourth week.
Todd has been traveling a lot lately for work. He's been to Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Texas several times and then one of his trips took him to South Korea with a layover in Hawaii. We had to laugh that Todd ended up being in Hawaii on our 15th anniversary without me!
US Synthetic had their annual crawfish boil (in honor of so many of their customers being from Houston). We did eat some crawfish and other food, but spent most of our time playing. This is something we look forward to every year.
The kids helped plant our garden. Now the real work begins!
Ethan had a good soccer season and scored quite a few goals.
Jared played volleyball through the city with his team winning the final tournament.
Betty had eleven baby rabbits, although one died. That is a lot of rabbits to sell so we don't get stuck having to actually eat any of them!
