Rachel's ballet recital

Thanks to Mag for inspiring me to try to start blogging! We just got these pictures from Rachels dance recital last May. Thought you might enjoy them. The first dance is "Doing the Penguin" and was a tap dance. The second one is called "Poison Ivy". The words are "At night while your sleepin' poison ivy comes a creepin'." Notice all the itchy girls in the group picture.

Rachel starts school

Hello. Just wanted to share some pictures of Rachel (here she is wearing one of her uniforms) and her new school, Eakin Elementary. She is an official kindergartener! She loves school and has made some new friends, although she still misses some of her old friends from daycare. She came home last week one day with something important to tell me. "Remember how the teachers at daycare told us not to use bathroom words, mom? Well, the music teacher said, 'Ta, ta, tee-tee, ta!'"
