Nearing the End

You know school is wrapping up when all the spring programs begin. Ryan's was last week and it is bittersweet. It has been a great two years at this school and his teachers are wonderful! However, he is very excited about kindergarten beginning, too! Here are some shots from the day with his teachers and some friends. The plate he is holding was his gift to us. It is awesome! A drawing he made of himself and Spiderman on a plate that his teacher says should last for years. She has some that are 28 years old and still looking good. Here's our boy!

Maybe I'll get some video up of the program some time soon, too! Don't hold your breath, though :)!

If I Were a Consistent Blogger...

You would have seen these pictures (and maybe more) over the past month and a half. But since I'm not, this is all you get, AND you get them way after the fact :)!

We had a fun time seeing "Nemo on Ice" back in March. We had great seats, just a couple rows up from the ice. The costumes were very impressive. You almost forgot these people were skating! Of course, a family pose taken by the "usher" guy. And after the big day, Ryan encouraged anyone that came over to do Nemo on Ice at our place... now called Nemo on Wood! Can you see their ice skates? We traveled to Indiana for Easter this year. Here are some Easter morning eggs. Yes, that is a Spiderman egg. What kind of Easter bunny do we have? Sure, we're smiling here, but Ryan was really in the middle of a melt down. Guess we take what we can get!
And here is the campaign picture for when Steve runs for President... yes, he has a plan. But... I tell him he won't be doing it with this wife :)!!!Steve flew back home on Monday morning to work and Ryan and I stayed for the rest of the week as my mom was on Spring Break. We got to spend some fun time with friends and family. Here are some pictures of what may be becoming the annual trip to the Indianapolis Children's Museum. The robot section was what Ryan says was his favorite part of the day. Here's Grandma, Ryan and their new friend. Ryan building a robot...Photo op with the dinosaur...We just couldn't pass up these last two shots. After all, it IS all about us, right? No, we know that is far from the truth, but a great picture opportunity nonetheless. This was actually an exhibit entitled "The Power of Children: Making a Difference". OK OK.... so we aren't as famous as Anne Frank and Ryan White, but maybe we could pass it off on this blog! :)
