Music Lyrics

I learned a new song yesterday...
Perhaps you have heard it?

Hot Blooded
Chicken and Cheese
Can't you see
The fever in me

Foreigner would be so proud!
This after the Barack Obama Baby Choir on the steps last week?
Confused?
Me too.

Does that make sense? yikes.

Glasses


Here she is ~ Our beautiful girl in her new glasses!
She was so excited to pick them up, she had butterflies in her tummy.
At her doctor's appointment last week it was so fun to watch as she tried on the glasses. She tried on a couple and smiled at the sight of herself. But, when she put on the glasses that she chose... her eyes lit up like magic! There was no doubt about which pair she liked best.

Easter

We made it!
This was a big weekend for us!
Saturday was our big Egg Hunt/Egg Drop at River Hills. It was so much fun! Over 5000 eggs came cascading from the upper level of our atrium to center in front of the waterfall below. What I had not anticipated was the frenzy of children rushing to the bottom of our tube. I guess the good news was that for kids... frenzy = excitement. It certainly was exciting! We are already dreaming up ideas to make it even more exciting next year. We are already cookin' up a secret idea to make it great fun for the little guys under 3 years old (thanks Jane :) It was so much fun to see families having a great time together!

Of course, Easter Sunday is busy too. It was a full house at River Kids and from what I understand the auditorium was packed too! My favorite time of the whole morning was singing with kids! They sang their hearts out ~ I love it when they all participate, especially the older boys who are usually too cool for such things. Every song we sang told of the story of Christ death and resurrection. Sometimes music is better than any lesson. I don't like to pressure children in taking communion until they understand it. So often kids like to do it for the novelty of it or because they think it is a snack. So... I set up a little table so that parents could take communion together. It is such a beautiful sight to see families taking communion together. It's very nice for our family. It such a crazy morning it's nice to stop after everyone leaves and remember why we are there in the first place.

After church!!!!
Ponchot family dinner. Yes! Mom fixed a delicious dinner for all of us. So nice to crash after such a busy morning. Extra nice for her to do that after having such a busy morning herself. We have the best mom! Speaking of moms... My daughter-in-laws tummy is growing beautifully! Malachi is going to be a big boy.
I hope everyone had as nice of an Easter as I did! Here are the tradition Easter door and step pictures of Hope and Micah.

This Little Piggy



Last week Micah had a pig, I mean big day. His class had poetry day. Each child was assigned a nursery rhyme and instructed to wear a costume of one the the characters in his poem. As you can see, Micah was assigned "This Little Piggy Went to the Market." If you know my shy little boy, you know that this was a big deal. He doesn't even like to dress up for his favorite holiday, Halloween! But, I found this cute hat ~ the perfect choice! The funny thing is that when you squeeze the hoof, it oinks and lights up ~ crazy red eyes!

Tomorrow is Dad's Day at school. Ray can't wait to go hang out with his little guy! He will get to see Micah's film debut. The teacher video taped the children reciting their poems in costume and will be showing it to the dads.
