Spring Soccer Season

Bekah loves playing soccer. Spring season is upon us again. Here are a few shots of one of our soccer stars:-) Bekah's team did GREAT this season! It always helps when you have one kid that can score from anywhere -- even when he is playing goalie:-) Her team was very fun to watch. I love seeing all the kids run their hardest and work so hard at trying to score. They did awesome!

Spring Soccer Season- Jane

Jane is another one of our soccer stars. For some reason I did not get a picture of her playing goalie, on of her favorite positions. She improved so much this season and we love watching her play!

The Next Virtuoso?

Porter got to take piano as an elective at school this year. In this photo he is playing in his class recital. He has found a new love! He plays the piano throughout the day, composes his own music, and is progressing so quickly! He is awesome! Way to go, Porter!

Marbles Museum

We finally got to go to Marbles Museum with Miss Holly this track out. A very fun children's museum that we visit on most track outs. Here are the girls working hard in the restaurant:-)

Marbles- Working on the Submarine

Marbles- Working in the garden

Bekah and Eve loved "planting" flowers in the garden for Miss Holly. Miss Holly loves flowers!

The Natural Science Museum

March is track out month for Jane, Bekah, and Eve, so we always have some fun field trip activities planned. This time we went to the Natural Science Museum in Raleigh with Bekah's friend Sydney and her family. I let Jane take over the camera, so we got lots of interesting photos of animals and exhibits! Don't you just love the sloth hanging upside down, and the python hanging on the stick?!?

Porter is an official TEENAGER!

Porter officially turned thirteen this year, making him our third teenager! Congratulations, Porter! Exciting times are ahead! His birthday this year was, well, interesting. You can see by the pictures that he is opening some kind of electronic gizmo. Well, the problem was that all had been asking for was a Nintendo DS. I went to buy it, thinking it was an easy purchase, and the clerk informed me that a newer, bigger, better version was releasing in two weeks. Well, I couldn't have NOTHING for him to open on his birthday, so we had him open the older version, then told him he couldn't open the box. Is that cruel or what?!? Then we took him to the store so he could see what the two weeks' wait would bring him. It was definitely a torturous two weeks, but he now claims the wait was worth it:-)

Can you say "Brrrrr"?!?

After a long, exceptionally cold winter (for North Carolina), we finally got some warm days! As soon as it hits about 70 degrees around here, Jane and Bekah think it is time for swimming. I had to take pictures of this. They wore shirts "to keep them warmer" and got in the pool. The water temp, you ask? A brisk 54 degrees! That makes me shiver just thinking about it!

One of our Little Princesses

Every once in a while, I get treated with "her highness" and a royal gift:-) Adorable!
