Allie having fun at the Children's museum

Our last service project for Allie's confirmation was working an event at the Cleveland Children's Museum. What a cute place. The girls got to enjoy some time playing while we were there.

One of these days I've got to take the D's down there. They would have a blast!

Easter Egg Coloring Time!

It was once again time to color Easter Eggs. Next year I'm going to have to boil more eggs, they blow through them.

Oh...and Auntie Debbie you were missed...I think this is the first year you haven't colored eggs with us since we moved to Lakewood!

Deirdre's School Play #2

This was the final song with all of the kids combined. At least in this one you can kind of hear the kids singing.

Deirdre's School Play

Admittedly I don't have a very steady hand, but here's the video of Deirdre's "solo".

I have to say I was a little disappointed. After all the build up about how cool it was that a 1st grader actually had a "solo", the "play" was little more then a bunch of kids singing along to recorded songs, and the songs were played so loudly that you couldn't even hear the kids.

That being said, Deirdre was of course hysterical!

I couldn't resist

I was going to tell Allie it was time to leave for PSR and she just looked too cute doing her Math on the whiteboard Mark painted for her on her bedroom wall :-)

My how she has grown.

We have been taking a picture of Allie for at least 7 years now on Christmas Eve posing on Beeka's stairs. It's amazing to look these, it really shows how much she has grown up!
