Well, we've lived in Mississippi now for 3 years and this is the second time we've seen snow!! Of course, my dear Cali/Nevada friends, to us here in MS it's snow-- to y'all it's just a mild dusting!! The boys had so much fun playing in it and thoroughly enjoyed putting their freezing cold hands and my face!!
On Thursday Connor had his end of the year program at preschool and since he's 4 he got his preschool diploma. They sang several songs while on stage and, even the songs he wasn't sure of the words, he sang with all his heart! As they got on the stage Jon looked at me and said, "I hope he doesn't fall off" and not 2 seconds later he fell down-- luckily he stayed on the stage! He bowed between songs and had fun-- which is really all that mattered
Well, for those who haven't heard, our Yorkshire Terrier, Lucy, had puppies on April 16. She had 2 males. I'm sure Jon had a good laugh at work when I called him out of the blue completely freaking out. Here's the story-- we had started to realize that Lucy was pregnant but I was unaware (completely) that she was due. I was cleaning carpets getting ready for my parents and Amanda to visit. I stopped to put potatoes in the crock pot for dinner when I suddenly heard this loud whining sound. I went to search it out and saw Lucy at the back door with a puppy in her mouth!! I let her in and she ran to my room (after running through 2 rooms of freshly cleaned carpets). I called Jon at work completely panicked that she had the puppy outside and convinces that there was probably another somewhere and I couldn't find it. Jon thought I was crazy so I called my friend Liz who lives down the street and she came over and, luckily, their granddad is a vet so she called him and everything was fine! Turns out, she did have another but she had him inside. They are very cute and now have their eyes open.
Well, we had to have Trevor's birthday 2 weekends after the actual day due to dance recital BUT he had a GREAT time! He chose to go to the skating rink here in town and he just loved it. It was a private party so the only ones in the whole place were there for him. He invited his friends and about 16 of them showed up (including Meghan and Connor.) They got to skate for 1.5 hours and he opened presents and my friend, Michelle, made his birthday cake and it was delicious! Overall he had a great time and I tried to hide my tears as I had to realize he is growing up-- Still can't believe he is 9!!
This weekend was Meghan's dance recital and this year even Connor participated! Meghan had several costume changes and even ventured a solo this year!
Connor was a train conductor and danced to Thomas the Train-- he really did a great job. He was a little overwhelmed by the bright lights and stopped his dance to look up at the lights! They both really did a good job and we were so proud!!
Meghan and Jon even got to dance the father/daughter dance again this year. She really loved it and although I don't think Jon necessarily liked being on the stage I think he genuinely enjoyed dance with Meghan.
