Last Day of School 2011

Today was Avery's last day of 4th grade. After school, all of the girls from her grade came over to our house and had a pool party. What a great way to end the year!

Piano Recital

Today, Avery had her end-of-the-year piano recital. She played a duet with her teacher, Mrs. Carol Armstrong. She continues to get better and better at the piano.

Field Day

Today was field day at Providence. Avery and her classes competed in a variety of athletic competitions and had a great time as a class. We can't believe that the school year is coming to an end.

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!
