Memorial Day

We spent this morning at the local Memorial Day Parade.

Breakfast of Champions - Red, White & Blue Sprinkle Donut






Proud American & Flag


Leah asked to take this picture for her Grandma Ruth (who is a BIG Yankee Fan).


Waiting patiently to go up on stage with the rest of her schoolmates.


Leah joined her American Sign Language teacher and other kindergartners up on stage after the parade and they signed God Bless America.












Afterward Matt & George went with Leah on a walk to see the local water tower. Then they spent a little time in the playground.

Matt & Leah on the swings-Matt has always been (and hopefully always will be) a kid at heart.




We headed home and changed for the beach. We met up with our friends.

Family photo


Leah was absolutely wonderful (as usual) with Louis today. While we were setting up our beach gear (blanket, chairs, umbrella etc) Leah sat nicely with Louis on the sand and held him until we were done.

When we sat Louis in the water for the first time she was there by his side. Great big sister.

Can you taste it?

Summer is almost here. Right around the corner. We went to our condo pool today and went for a swim.

Recital Weekend 2010

Leah has been very busy with activities this past year. She took gymnastics once a week and two dance classes every week from September through May. For dance she took a combo tap/ballet class and a combo hip-hop/jazz class. Leah is great about making sure she is prepared for her classes and rarely misses them. She worked very hard this year at the routines she would be performing with her classes at the yearly recital. She performed each very well and made us all proud.



After her first recital we went out for a late dinner at a local Applebees. Leah finished off the night with a chocolate meltdown.

Play Ball!

While visiting one of Matt's Aunt's and with family Leah played t-ball out in the backyard. After a couple of swings she got the hang of it.

Mani-Pedi Time

Leah wanted to have her nails done for her recital. She chose blue glitter nail polish.
