Sunday afternoon at the park

We just got home from the park... it was too beautiful a day to be inside. Noah loves wide open spaces. He could walk for days and not get tired. The boy also loves slides. You should hear him giggle as he zooms down.

Noah desperately wants to ride Amelia's new scooter. He stands on it every chance he gets. Amelia is not the best sharer, but she learning.


You can tell a good time was had by all just by looking at last photo. We were WORN out!

Cheering for the home team!

The kiddos are getting ready to cheer on the Heels in tomorrow's game against Oklahoma. To say Lee is nervous is an UNDERSTATEMENT... but, he's trying his hardest to hide it.

It must be like looking into a mirror for Lee... that Noah is a spitting image of his dad.

Have you ever seen cuter Carolina fans?!

Rhyming preschool-style

Today, Amelia's class put on a performance of nursery rhymes. What a treat! They've been learning them over the past few weeks and I'm so impressed. I can't believe how many Amelia has memorized.

She's been a
practicing fool... in her room, at dinner, in the bathtub, while playing with her horse farm, in the car, while dancing... she hasn't stopped singing since they started this lesson in class. She does it almost subconsciously.

Amelia was in her element this morning. From the moment the kids walked into the classroom ("HI MOM! HI DAD!") until the final bow (big wave to the crowd), Amelia didn't let up. Loved her confidence... but, what does this mean when she's thirteen? Watch out!

She's clearly not afraid of an audience, as evident in the last video - "Finale!" I'm not sure if she's just dancing or trying out for an air-guitar competition. The girl has got some moves.

After the performance a classmate's mom came up to me -- "She's such a ham!" There's no hiding I'm Amelia's mother. I have to admit, I love it... I'm so proud of my girl.
