Playing Catch Up

So I am playing catch up.  These posts will be in no particular order...only the order I get the pictures off my phone!  Living life and enjoying the special moments...

Landon's Valentine box.  He got creative again this year, and we had fun putting it together.  I didn't get a pic of Claire's, she made hers into an iPad.  Surprise, surprise...  I helped with both classroom parties and had a blast.  It was a little bittersweet for Claire as she realized that would be the last classroom party she would have.  Growing up is a realization that has positive and negative feelings for her.  This was one of the negatives.

Claire's dance competition season is in full swing.  She is doing six dances this year, including her duet.   She is, of course, loving every minute of it.  And it makes a Mom happy to hear people say how obvious it is that Claire loves to dance when she is on stage.  Photos from top:  Claire in her duet, Claire in her lyrical dance (she's the one in front with perfect form), the whole ATD company after winning 1st overall for their production, several members of her musical theatre dance Wonderland, where she plays Alice.

Landon played basketball for the first time this winter.  Although not his favorite sport, as he will tell you, he learned quickly and improved throughout the short season.  Now that a few weeks have passed he says he would like to try again next year.  I love his spirit and determination.  He bounces right back (well, after he's had a couple days to get over it)!  Now we are moving on to baseball.  And maybe tennis.  And have I mentioned he'd like to try karate?  hahaha
