Field Day

Amelia's school had field day, and I took some fun photos of the event. She was so excited, and loved every minute of it!

Didn't you love these parachute things in elementary school?

Watching field day really wears Colin out.

After the Show

Dinner at Maggiano's with Grandpa Chin and Grandma Debi who flew out just for the occasion!


Posing after the show with all the flowers she got. I think all these flowers might have been the best part of the whole thing for Amelia!

Holding the flowers from Grandma and Grandpa, and getting ready to give them to Amelia.
Debi let Colin pick out some flowers to give Amelia that would be just from him. He was really proud of these colorful daises and held them during the whole show.

Swan Lake

This year Amelia's ballet studio put on Swan Lake, and Amelia got to be a French princess. She loved her costume so much, especially the gloves! Here are some pics that Mike was able to take at the dress rehearsal.






Field Trip

Mike went with Colin's class on a field trip to a lovely nearby wildlife preserve. They had a great time checking out some animals and being together. Colin made a cool hat at school to wear on the trip, and here he is modeling it with Mike.

Jack-in-a-bed

Our last child moved out of the crib and into a toddler bed. Huge milestone!

Mother's Tea

My favorite part of Mother's Day since we moved here is the Mother's Tea at the preschool! Colin made me a darling pin and a wonderful card. Here are some photos from the event.

This year Colin wasn't interested in singing with his class at all. Here he is taking a break from the hard work of standing around!

Sarah's Yard

We spent a lot of time in Sarah's wonderful backyard with the kids.

Blowing bubbles.

Doing Easter egg hunts.
Firing stomp rockets and releasing rocket balloons.
Chasing down rockets. Once again, Amelia's hair seems to have it's own personality!

Easter in Indiana

We had a wonderful trip to Indiana during Amelia's spring break. It was a long drive for me without Mike, but totally worth it!

We were there during Easter, so poor Mike had to watch the kids find their Easter baskets like this.
Kids running in to see what the Easter bunny brought. Amelia's hair really has a life of its own!
