Bad Blogger

So, blogging is not my strength. I have pictures to upload, news to share, and things to say, but I just don't seem to get it all on here. So, the latest....

My sweet baby turned five. 5 years old! Bobby and I cannot believe that Lakin is already 5. Where has the time gone? She loves to remind us that she is five and that soon she'll be 6, then 7, then 8, then 9. LOL. She thinks the reaction that she gets from us is hilarious. She has so much personality, too. She bobs her head and bats her eyes and we are thinking we are in big trouble when she's a teenager.

Miss Maggie is on a quest to read as many Nate the Great books as possible before the end of the school year. Her teacher tells me that she'll be recommending her for testing for the gifted program at school which she finds terribly thrilling. She also expects to be super-busy at gymnastics this summer preparing for competition. Her coaches believe she'll be ready to compete in August.

Jayce attended a Young Writer's Conference on Saturday and enjoyed learning more about creative writing and illustrating. Later Saturday he tried out for a play at Poteet Theater. We found out today that he was chosen for the part of David in the 7 Brides for 7 Brothers part of the musical review that will be produced in August.

Life is busy, but we know that we are richly blessed.

Oz

"Oz" was a great success this weekend. All of the children that came to see the play were enthralled, and all of the adults were amazed at the talent of these young people. Jayce made a wonderful, animated munchkin, dancing and singing his heart out. The leads were remarkably funny, terrific performers. The songs were so catchy. Lakin can't stop singing them! Thanks to all of you that came to see Jayce's performance.
