School Girl



Macey - on her way to Sylvia's this morning. She only has two more weeks of "school", then she gets to stay home with Mommy every day. She loves going to Sylvia's - there are lots of kids to play with and toys, too.

Trajan The Concert Pianist



Trajan celebrated the end of his first year of piano training through the Yamaha program by performing in a concert last Sunday at the Armstrong Theatre. He was very excited and a little bit nervous, but as we all expected, he did a fabulous job. They performed two numbers, "Popcorn" and "Soda Pop".

OK, that top picture is very dark, but if you click on it, it will bring up a larger image - I just wanted to show what Trajan looked like on stage. The other photo is after the performance, showing his medal of achievement. Yeah Trajan!

Trajan the Thespian


Trajan has become quite a performer this year - he played the lead of Hansel in his class play of Hansel and Gretel last December, and a few weeks ago he appeared as Mr. Arable in his class play of Charlotte's Web. Here he is with his classmates Julia (l) and Kimberly (c) from their first morning performance for the school.

Mommy's Little Helper


Macey always helps to load and unload the dishwasher. She takes the flatware and puts it in her special hiding place in the living room. Today, I convinced her to bring it back and put it where it belongs....she thinks that is very funny!

Girl Meets Grill


So, the past two Friday nights, Mark and Trajan have built a fire in the fire pit for us to roast marshmallows. The lid of the pit is a dome shape with a crosshatch pattern, and as you can imagine it gets very sooty from the smoke and fire flowing through it. The past two Saturdays, Macey has decided to get up close and personal with the lid - silly girl!

Visitors



Our cousins from Massachusetts came for a visit during April. It was so warm while they were here, we got to go to the beach!
