Miscellaneous May Photos
As I went through photos from May, there were several that either didn't fit in with any previous post, or got lost in the shuffle. What follows is patchwork summary of some May events ~

Emma's piano recital, 2013. I miss her piano recital every year because it is always scheduled for a Wednesday night {when I teach at church}, despite asking her teacher to do it on another day. But she did great, I was able to see the video, and I hear her play at home all the time. One of her favorite songs to practice this year was "Money Can't Buy Everything."
Emma and Ava after the recital.
These are a few pics from our yummy Mother's Day brunch at Café Centraal. It was our first time eating there and we loved it! The girls were especially pleased with the homemade donuts, and Alyssa was impressed with the huge variety of teas they have.
Rebekah looks forward to playing on the tot lot outside Alyssa's singing lesson when the weather is nice. It's different than the playground at school and she is getting really confident with the monkey bars.

Dave and I won {or I should say I won, because he couldn't believe I even bid on it} tickets to a Murder Mystery Dinner Event at our school's auction in April. So we went and it was super cheesy, but lots of fun too. Here we are pictured as the class of 1957 Prom King and Queen, suspects in our murder mystery.

Our first parade of the summer season was kind of a bust, it felt more like Halloween than Memorial Day with the occasional cold drizzles and wind.
There were lots of umbrella covered and blanket wrapped gymnasts, but all the kids made the best of it and seemed to have a lot of fun despite being chilly. Emma was only kind of giving me a heart attack as she did aerial cartwheels on a wet slippery road.

At the local district level of the Hershey Track Meet, Emma won the long jump, advancing to the next sectional meet. She took second in the 50m as well. In an effort not to miss church that night, Emma chose to run the 50 as opposed to a longer distance race occurring later in the evening. She enjoyed it!

Finishing Up February
I ran out of days in February for posting all our photos in an organized fashion. Here's a quick summary and a bunch of photos to finish up the month:
Photo 54 of 365, taken February 11th. On this morning, Rebekah had asked me for help with putting on her socks. She's very particular about how her socks feel on her feet and she said, "Ugh, these mystery signs are not fitting on my toes right." I loved her sweet perspective of question marks signaling some mystery to be solved.
Photo 55 of 365, taken February 12th. I'm getting to the point where I am finished enjoying Winter. Packing up hats, gloves, boots and snowpants everyday before school is becoming tiresome. And so are the soggy backpacks that two of the girls bring home almost everyday. I pull out homework, notes and other papers that are completely soaked through because wet snowpants or boots have been sitting in the backpack with them. Yuck! Spring, please arrive soon!!
Photo 56 of 365, taken February 24th. Emma and a few of her teammates after a meet. She scored her highest all around so far as a level 7 at this meet, and she still has some improvements she can make, so it's an exciting time of the gymnastics season.
Snow Day 2013:
While I may complain about Winter, the girls are never disappointed to have an unexpected day off school because of the snow.

Photo 58 of 365, also taken February 27th. What a day!
Photo 59 of 365, taken February 28th. Completing her homework about a snowman. If you look close you can see that she put herself and her sisters on a sled next to the snowman.
Photo 60 of 365, taken February 28th. While we wait for Alyssa to have her singing lesson, Rebekah does her homework. Once she is done with her work, one of our favorite thing to do is to take a walk in the school where the graduating class gets to add their own fishes to the underwater scene that extends the entire hallway {both sides, and it is kind of a tunnel like hallway that leads from the school to the building where the gymnasium is, so you really feel like you're underwater}. They are just beginning to paint this year's additions, and these are our new favorites so far.

Not a Fan
What's a girl who is not a Packer fan to do on Green and Gold Packer Spirit Day at school?
Wear her cousin's school t-shirt, that just happens to be the right colors, of course!! Thank you, sweet Ki'inani for giving the girls such cute shirts!!
On one of the Fridays when the Packers were still in the playoffs, Emma and Rebekah had Packer Spirit Day at school.
Emma, who I never got a photo of wearing Ki'inani's shirt took the Spirit Day very seriously and somehow got the impression during the planning for the special day that she would be penalized for not owning and wearing a Packer shirt. Her teacher is as fair as fair can be, and would have never held it against her! It was just a funny discussion to have with her and find out that she knew exactly who the other non-Packer fans in her class are, and how they formed an allegiance. Funny 3rd graders...and our choice of green and gold shirts was a perfect fit! Rebekah didn't understand the whole conflict, she was just proud to wear something her cousin had given her!!
