The past month has been so busy! I am not sure how
people manage to post to their blog daily or even weekly
and still sleep! So I will try to update as much as I can
now. The girls have been in dance again this year.
Samie has been in tap, jazz, lyrical, tumbling and hip hop.
Sydney was in Kinderdance 2 which combines tap and
ballet. They had their recital recently and did great.
Samie has really surprised us with her passion for
dance and she tried out for the competition dance team,
Company, and made it. So next year looks to be VERY
busy with all the classes she will be required to take for
that. Sydney feels ok about dance but does not have
that passion for it. If she never does that is OK with
this Mama! I tried to take pictures at their practice as
you are not allowed to at the recital. They did not turn
out the best but here is one of each of the girls.
Sydney had her Kindergarten graduation!
My baby girl is now a 1st grader.
This next pic just goes to prove that
a southern belle she is NOT!
Samie had her music awards, she was in the chorus.
Samie also had her awards ceremony for the end
of the school year. If you don’t like Mommy bragging
then skip ahead! Our girl was on the Principal’s list the
entire year. Straight A’s while taking AIG, academically
and intellectually gifted, courses. She also had the
highest grade average in Science and also Language
Arts. She had a story published in a county wide
publication. She also was a semi-finalist in Letters About
Literature for 7th and 8th graders. This is a national
reading and writing promotion program. All of this while
being a Cheerleader, dance, and playing on the soccer
team. Needless to say we are so proud of this girl!
Sydney also had her Fun Day at school. This is a day
of outdoor games and getting wet. She had so much
fun! Her big sister even put in a special appearance to
take her on at some games!
You would think that with school over things would slow
down…….NOPE not here! Samie left for Campfirmation at
Camp Agape this past Sun. We will go to pick her up
tomorrow. Don’t tell her but we have missed her!
Sydney has been going to Camp Agape day camp at our
church this week. This is always a great time for the
kids. Syd has come home every day singing some new
song she has learned. Samie still has Cheer camp and
Dance camp left this summer, we are going to Myrtle
Beach for Syd’s birthday and in between all this we are
trying to build on to our house for Mom to move in with
us. Busy…YEP! Hoping for a few moments of calm next
week.
This next picture is typical Sydney!
She had come over to show me something she had
drawn and was holding it at face level, when she put it
down this is what I saw! I had to try so hard not to
burst out laughing. I asked her what she had on her
mouth and her reply was that it was chap stick! I then
calmly asked where she got it and she replied in Mema’s
purse. As we were about to go out for dinner I told her
I would have to wipe some off and she said, but I look so
pretty! Yes baby girl you do!
BLESSINGS!
