Lexie's First Piano Recital

Lexie has been taking piano lessons since November of 2009. Mrs. Terri Thompson has been super patient with Lexie. Lexie likes to tell Mrs. Terri stories during the lesson and if anything she learns reminds her of something else, she wants to share that with Mrs. Terri as well.

Last night, Lexie had her first piano recital. She was super excited. She had a new recital dress and a bottle of water. (Lexie thought that she needed a bottle of water... just like singers have when they perform.) Lexie played "Go Tell Aunt Rhodie," "Ode to Joy," and "Lamb at School."

We were very proud of her and Daddy gave her a red carnation after the recital. Lexie was convinced it was a rose. She didn't care. She loved it. But it didn't take long before she took the ribbon off, the leaves, and half of the stem. Oh well! I guess it's the thought that counts!

Happy Birthday Greg!

I guess it is becoming a little family tradition to take Greg to the creek for his birthday. So this last Monday the girls and I fixed a picnic and chocolate cake and took Daddy to the creek for his 31st birthday. We all had a good time. We even took our newest family member Oreo. Yes, we have a pup. I know, like we needed something else to tend to. But this little puppy has actually helped us out in so many ways. I believe that the girls are outside playing with the puppy more and not inside scattering toys everywhere. Plus, they have gotten over alot of their "dog fear." Well, Mary Ellen is still not so sure about Oreo.

Happy Birthday Daddy/Greg

You are loved very much

You are the best husband and daddy in all the world

We are so blessed to have you in our lives
