Projects, Performances, and Field trips

I am not sure how your end of the school year is, but our last month is filled to the brim with end of the year wrap up stuff. A big thanks to my friends and neighbors. I still wasn't able to lift S at this point. So, in order for me to attend they would come pick the two of us up and attend with us, or watch S so I could attend. It was a group effort. E even didn't tell me about some of her events because she thought it was too much work. So mature and sad at the same time.

H as a butterfly in her music class performance(JR took us)

E's state float- It's Louisiana y'all!

R on a field trip to a play (Thanks to Nic for the pic)

H's field trip got rained out so the teachers invited the parents to a picnic as a make up.

H's field day

R's cultural festival. She represented Denmark.

I am missing pictures from E's marimba concert and R's class play.

Memorial Day Rafting 2012

Every year we go rafting with our neighbors. I didn't go this year, but I did go get them sent off.

These pictures are on the river. Thanks to our neighbor, Doug.

JR and his boat of girls.

He was a real sport. He was by himself and offered to take our friends 3 girls that are the same age as our girls. Here he is with the 2 Third graders and 2 First graders.

M.S., E.Y., our E, and B.J.

The 11 year old girls felt very mature. It was their first year manning a raft with no adults.

They had a great time on the river and then we ended the day with a barbecue at the Reids. It was the perfect kick off to summer time.

Track 2012

E and R participated in the elementary schools track meet. They both had a great time and were pleased with their results. E ran the 400m, hurdles, 100m, running long jump, and relay.

  R ran the 100m, 200m, long jump and soft ball throw.

Mother's Day 2012

All my treasures and gifts of love. It was a great day. I was well taken care of. I heard 3 of my girls sing to me in church. I was given poems and other heartfelt gifts.

Dear Blogworld I miss You

While I was sleeping, the world kept going round. Now, I need to get this blog caught up so everyone can know what the rest of the family was doing while I laid in that chair. I was reading other blogs last night and realized how long it has been.

OK, I know it is a horrible picture of me but I had to include it. This was a week post surgery. I was feeling so much better I was doing homework with H while Karen cooked breakfast. Reality check--I might have felt better but I looked horrible and if you look close you can see I am pushing H away because even her sitting close was too much pressure.
