May Faire

Kaelah & I have been attending the parent/toddler class held at the school I used to teach at. It's been fun to be on the parent side of things. I think being a teacher is easier! Anyway, we had an extra special day last Thursday. The May Faire had been rained out the Saturday before, but it made it oh so easy to simply stick around after class to watch the festivities. Here is Kaelah posing for Danny once he met us at the school.
Can you spot Lady Spring? All the classes did a great job with their music & dancing presentations. And the kindergartners were angelic in their observation! I adore having my family with me at the school and seeing the students react to Kaelah. One day I had to carry Kaelah out of the room because she was having a temper tantrum. They were shocked that MY daughter would ever need to cool off outside! Or need to be reminded to wear her hat....
Speaking of hats, Dan bought me a perfect one at Target.
The 4th graders did a magnificent job of weaving the May Pole ribbons while singing & dancing. Hard to believe I used to be the summer camp leader for some of them! This is the reaction Kaelah had: "Wow!" Oh, that reminds me. When the German teacher was introducing the grades & what they were going to do, she used little rhymes. Since the 5th grade was doing a dance the last line was, "Here is grade 5 to help your feet come alive." Kaelah jumped up off my lap (she had been oh so content the entire time watching) and said, "yeah!!!" With such perfect timing everyone around us laughed. How much does she really understand? Hmmmm....

I am LOVING the hats!! What a totally cool tradition on May day. I wish we could find somewhere around here that did a May pole like that.
Also, how cool was your trip to VA!! I'm super jeal, we'll have to swing out there sometime. If not just for the ginger cakes and cider. :)

Yeah, Waldorf schools are the best. I'm already looking forward to the Harvest Fair in September. (:

Happy 250th Birthday

Please enjoy the following sunrise hike photos courtesy of Michelle.  You will not find me leaving the house at 3:00am to hike with friends but I am proud of my middle children when they do. Can an Independence Day blog post be complete without some time at the ball fields?  Natalie has her final tournament of the season and it was bittersweet to see the girls play so well but knowing this was the last chance they would have together before some of the girls (N included) aged out. I will always appreciate these coaches, players, and their families for truly making something special.  Pool play day was sunny and hot. My alarm went off at 5:30am to be at 7:00am warm ups an hour away. The first game was close but didn’t end the way we would have liked. The second game the girls took a solid beating and then after leading most of the third game, it ended in a tie. Natalie did some great work in the outfield and knows how to make those pitchers work when she hits those foul ba...

Precious Pumpkin

Our Halloween pictures finally made it to the computer. I won't state the name, but let's just say we know a certain 15-month-old who likes to hide things, especially if they are small & silver like a memory card reader. (: Oh look, here she is now, dressed up as a pumpkin fairy! And check out the super neat pumpkin Danny carved. We actually had neighbors make the effort to come compliment him before trick-or-treating began! I have never experienced a Halloween where families hang out on the porch to hand out candy the entire night! I just can't get over how wonderful the weather has been this fall. If there weren't long term consequences, I could really like global warming. Here's the cute little girl helping to hand out candy. She was a huge hit with the teenage trick-or-treaters. My favorite costume of the night was a guy dressed up as a kissing booth. When Dan asked him if that was working for him he replied, "I got a kiss from a 6-year-old ...

Some Explaining

Well, the time has come. We finally got the gutts to take an intentional photograph of what is soon to be a new addition to the family. Surprised? Well, if you haven't seen me in person lately, you should be! And yes, Dan & I were quite surprised too! A couple months after we brought Danny J. home from the hospital, I noticed how much more tired I was waking up in the middle of the night with him than I was when Kaelah was a newborn. I kept asking myself, is there really that big of a difference between ages 26 & 28? I didn't think anything of my period coming late b/c both Dan & I were complaining of nausea. Eventually I went to our family practice doctor & said, "I'm either pregnant or something is wrong with me that I want you to fix!" We ran the blood work & called the fertility specialist after he told me the rapid test came back VERY pink. From then we did the same thing we had done before. Held our breath & took LOTS of medi...
