Megan’s Dance Recital 2011
Megan had her Dance Recital. Her group danced the Cotton Candy dance.
We talked about smiling when she danced, and she did a great job.
A funny note, a while back before one of her practices, she told Angie that she could do the dance with her eyes closed.
Sure enough, during the practice, the teacher noticed Megan bumping in to her neighbor and she had to tell Megan to open her eyes.
We went out for ice cream afterwards. The girls loved that.
Spring 2011 – Megan
Spring has been long in coming, but we had some time to take some pictures outside.
Just about ready for a high five.

Little Radio Stars
We set up our Blue Yeti Microphone and had a fun day a while back recording the kids. They wanted to sing some songs and tell stories.
I think we have a few radio stars. Below are the recordings we made:

Megan had a fun birthday this week. We went to the city library downtown and explored all sorts of places there.
Megan visited the library with her school class and wanted to bring the whole family along on her birthday.
Megan had fun opening presents in the morning…perhaps too much fun…she decided to save two presents to open a little later after breakfast.
We enjoyed the library, and the fun things to do there.
Here’s Autumn at a wishing well (sort of).
Megan needed a little help with that last candle, but she got it eventually.

Megan’s Birthday 2010
Megan had a fun birthday with a few of her friends coming over to celebrate in the morning. We then went the aquarium and got to watch them feed the electric eel and the piranhas.
