Patriot Day at Providence

Today was Patriot Day at Providence. The 4th graders dressed up as American heroes and gave presentations about their contributions to American history. Avery dressed up as Rosie the Riveter. Avery told her class about the origin of Rosie and the efforts of all women in the United States during World War II. We thought she was pretty awesome.

Connor's Soccer Game

Connor had his final soccer game this afternoon. We thought he played great! After the game, he and his teammates all were awarded trophies.

Happy Easter!

Today, we celebrated Christ's resurrection by going to church, hunting Easter eggs and eating a delicious Easter brunch at the Cresent Hotel downtown. A very enjoyable time. See pics below.

April Showers Bring...

As often occurs in the spring in Texas, a brief yet powerful thunderstorm coming rolling across Dallas this afternoon. After the rains let up, the evening turned out quite pretty. Connor and Avery put on their Wellington galoshes and played in the rain. So much fun!

Second Soccer Game

Connor loves soccer. He had his second game today at the YMCA with his team, the Bananas. We think he played great. (He scored 3 (!) goals). We are so proud of him.

Start of Connor's Soccer Season

Today, Connor had his first soccer game. It was a cold, windy 40 degrees as a bundled-up, yellow-uniformed Connor and his team, the Bananas, took the field at the Town North YMCA. Connor had much fun and even scored a couple of goals. We didn't keeping an official score. So much fun!
