Welcome, Spring!

Sweet moment between two tech enthusiasts.

Esme had her second of two dance competitions today. When asked what her favorite part of the competitions was she immediately answered, “the dressing room!” She clarified, “I like being with my team and friends and the older girls. We just have fun!”

These girls performed with big smiles, did their best and came home with a couple of trophies. A job well done!

Some new artwork in our house, alongside the photo inspiration. It is the view from the top of the ski mountain, photo taken in February.

Quick snowbank climb on our way to the museum this evening. We love Salem in all kinds of weather!

Not the biggest storm we’ve ever had but Catherine and her friend had a fantastic afternoon out in the snow.

Esme thoroughly enjoyed her first dance competition in Concord, NH. Her team performed so well and were absolutely adorable. For those who understand dance scoring, (ie not me) they received an Extreme Gold metal and a First place trophy. They also took 4th overall. So, I think that’s good 🙂 The girls were just really happy to be there with the older girls and they loved performing. As you can see, Esme was wiped out and slept the whole way home!

This one keeps sharpening her crafting teeth on ever more varied projects. Today’s offering is a small menagerie of small creatures sculpted from Sculpey clay. All designed and made from pictures in her mind.

Please note that the dolphin is in its own swimming pool, water included.
