Family update

Life has been busy in our household! In about the last month EMM got some cool new glasses with an updated prescription, HEM got her braces, and the girls had their dance recital which was last night! We also celebrated Mother's Day and AWANA awards night. Rather than ramble about all of it I will post pictures for you! ;) Sorry I don't have pics of EMM in her new glasses yet though.

The recital was really good. There were 80 performances. The girls were in 3 (tap, jazz, tumbling) and HEM was in a special number with various other girls outside of her class. We were SO proud of them.

Quick update

Mother's Day has come and gone. It was a wonderful day. The girls were their usual affectionate selves. :) I had praise team at church so after getting home I was able to get lunch done (which I had started the night before). My in-laws joined us and it was a lot of fun. I got a new bathing suit that day, too. Later in the day we joined our friends where Sean and Scott prepared steak dinner for Lori and I. I even came home with a dozen roses. It was a fun day.

HEM is gearing up for a new smile. She gets the top braces put on next week followed by the bottom ones early June.

May 30th will be the girls' dance recital. They're excited and looking forward to wearing the costumes. I'll post pics as soon as I have them.

Not much else going on at the moment. Winding down another school year. Not sure what our summer holds yet. We're planning to do some landscaping and finish our back deck. I'd also like to get our sunporch repainted and cleaned up. It doesn't look like we'll be going to Georgia this year. I'm kind of sad because I look forward to seeing my family, but it's just not in the budget with the braces being needed.

I hope to finish this month without too much stress. May is a little crazy as everything winds down. I'm going to be getting into full speed for VBS too.
