School Year Wrap-Up

 End of school excitement!
Sera as Harriet Tubman and her friend Alyssa as Walt Disney for the Biography Tea Party

Performing patriotic songs with hand bells

Last day of school with wonderful Ms. G
Emerson dressed up as Effie Trinket from Hunger Games for dress like your favorite book character day

Fifth grade promotion and farewell to Ms. L, who has been an awesome teacher for not one but two years!

Last day of school with teacher gifts
Recital night for my little studio this year--so glad this bunch have kept me teaching during a wild year!










Celebrating our favorite teenager!

Asher's birthday brunch--so spoiled!

Birthday Sea World for Asher and Cora--love these super-serious buddies

But I mean . . . this is what they were watching--I think they were nervous for this amazing Tahitian fire-dancer there for the Seven Seas festival.

Always love seeing Polynesian dancers wiggling their hips like nobody's business

Happy birthday, Asher! You've had an amazing year, and we're so proud of how much you've grown!
Around the house

Saturday dutch braids

Sunday baby (I think I have one of these for practically every Sunday of her life so far)
And Sunday afternoon creativity from Emer and Sera
We redid bedrooms! Here's the boys' island themed room--surfing and pirates!

And the girls' Paris themed room!

And Cora's room, where I love nothing more than rocking her to sleep

And because I don't remember posting photos of the library, where I also teach my KinderKeys classes

These are actually post-recital--usually the keyboards are in the middle of the room so everyone can see me. Our kids enjoy practicing and making up their own music during the summer here.
