Springtime Fun

Madison had her first experience with soccer this year. Her and Sydney (connected at the hip) were on the same team, which made it so much more fun for Madison. They both played very well! Madison took the less aggressive approach.....when we could get a little fire under her, she really chased that ball! She scored one goal during the season--which was very exciting for her parents, but apparently not so much for her. I asked her after the game, "What are you going to tell Grandma that you did today during your game?" She looked at me with a puzzled look on her face, and I said, "Remember, you scored a GOAL?!" Madison just shrugged her shoulders and said, "Oh, yeah." This next shot is Madison playing Goalie--her favorite position (because she didn't have to run so much). Soccer might be a required sport for her, just to teach her a little bit of work ethic. It shouldn't take much arm twisting if I remind her how much she loved the post-game treats. Thanks for the fun times, Madison!
Emma's Preschool Graduation

Emma showed off her many talents at her preschool Graduation Ceremony last month. She had been singing her songs constantly--all 26 of them (1 for each letter of the alphabet)--so I knew that she had them all down pat. During the program, however, a brand new baby happened to be sitting right in front of her.....that cute little thing stole every ounce of Emma's attention! Every once in awhile Emma would surface and sing along, but most of the time, she was pretty wrapped up with that baby. We were so proud of her anyway. She has learned so much this year! She can write her letters, knows their sounds and is getting ready to start reading soon. She had the cutest group of classmates ever--I think Emma agrees. She is constantly asking to invite one of her friends over to play. What a great Preschool year she has had--thank you Miss Hollie! Good job Emma--Kindergarten is right around the bend!
