Yanni Dance Party

Ok. Our kids apparently are HUGE Yanni fans! We recorded a PBS broadcast of Yanni Live in Concert and the kids love to watch it and just DANCE!! Each one one has their own moment in the video. Liah and Gabriel spin around and get dizzy and Isaac is making his own moves! I just thought this was too cute and wanted to share! (Make sure you turn off the music player first on the left-hand side)

She's just so DANG...well...Liah!

Liah is starting to show more and more personality. From her "Ewwww..." when she thinks something is dirty to her chants of "Li-ah, Li-ah, Li-ah..." when she has a crowd chanting her name as well, she is becoming quite her own little person. She is afraid of nothing and yet insist on throwing herself on the floor like a drama queen when things don't go her way! Wow! We are in for some fun :)

Memorial Day Moment

We've always tried to teach our kids to appreciate the sacrifices of those who serve and have served our country. This year Adam had a great idea to take the kids to a local military cemetary and teach them about why Memorial Day is so important. We invited some close friends of ours to go as well and it turned out to be a great opportunity to teach the kids.

Gabriel's Award

Gabriel received an award in kindergarten for learning his sight words for the last 9 weeks of school. This is his fourth award for the year...yeah...no comment as for what happened to the other blogs of the previous awards. The previous awards where for things like "Writing to 100" and "Counting to 100". He has had a BLAST this year and has told Isaac all about how much fun kindergarten is and he's excited to go to 1st grade next year. WOW!! My kids are growing up TOO FAST!!

This picture was taken earlier this year at another awards celebration.
