Ballet

How did it get to be almost June? Sorry for the long time with no updates. We've had a very crazy, very busy spring. 

Our house in NC sold and (finally) closed, and our condo in Iowa City also sold, so we were thrilled about that! 

Loren has been spending some time in San Antonio and some time in Austin. Still 3 nights/week gone. He is only sleeping in his truck in Austin, though--and he did buy a cot this weekend so he can upgrade to sleeping in his office. San Antonio pays for him to have a hotel room, since he is "on assignment."

Kate is continuing to thrive at her preschool. She can write the entire alphabet and can write words that are dictated to her. She loves to collect sticks on walks and loves ballet lessons. She recently had a recital, and Annie came to see it. It was the cutest thing I've ever seen!

Getting ready:

She looked at herself in the mirror and said "I'm beeeeeeautiful!" and she was.

 You can just see the excitement in her face!

These are some of the girls from Kate's preschool.

Kate is the 4th from the right.

...phew! That was a lot of work!

Annie!

...and then meltdown on the way to the car. It was a long, exciting day! Kate wanted to take off her shoes and leotard and walk in just her tights. She "compromised" with having one arm inside her leotard.

Needless to say, she slept in the next day!
