Dance Recital
The girls had their dance recital this May. Although I miss teaching dance, it was so nice to not be in charge of the recital this year :) Phoenix did a ballet and a character dance and Eva was Minnie Mouse. I enjoyed being in the audience this year just watching my girls!
The Front Porch
We spend so much time on this front porch! My favorite place to be is in my rocking chair watching the girls ride their bikes, play baseball or basketball, play in the rain, or talk to the cows. I get to enjoy a beautiful view of the mountains and watch the hummingbirds fight each other for the feeder! I love reading my book, looking at the stars, and watching the turkeys early in the morning.
It will be really hard to leave this beautiful place next year.

Huntsville to Texas to Rock Island
We had a fun summer full of trips to Texas, a dance concert, Huntsville Space
Center, eating
blueberries, hanging out with family, taking pictures, baking cookies, going to
the zoo, taking selfies, riding our bikes, and going swimming! It's always hard
to travel home without Sampson, but I have to say my kids are pretty
comfortable on airplanes and that makes my life so much easier! Sampson had to
take 2 huge tests and finish rotations for his 3rd year this summer. His
4th year started off with him at a 2 month rotation that was about 2 hours
away....that was not a fun commute for him. We enjoyed every bit of time
we got to spend together though.
The girls love to be with their
dad! He took them hiking, swimming, fishing and teaching them to clean
the fish, gathering eggs and making breakfast, and their favorite: daddy
daughter night! They love eating frozen yogurt with daddy! The summer
went by way too fast, but we definitely enjoyed it!
Phoenix's 1st Day of Kindergarten
I can't believe I
have a Kindergartener!! It is so crazy how quickly kids grow up! It was a hard
adjustment for Eva and I after Phoenix
left. We missed having Phoenix
at home, but it is working out great! Eva loves to have 1 on 1 time with mom
and she is a big helper with her baby brother. She also loves to do
homework with Phoenix
every night. Phoenix
is so sweet to always let her sister tag along and make her feel a part of her
life. I love when Phoenix
reads to us each night. It is really special to see your child learn and
grow. It makes me smile. As difficult as it is to be mom sometimes, there
are always moments that make everything totally worth it!
