School Time
Lucy started school again yesterday, same school and same teacher as last year. She even has some of the same classmates, consistency is very good for her and something she doesn't get much of as the life of a MK.

Ballet Recital
Last Saturday Lucy had a ballet "recital" at one of the local malls to end her 2 month summer ballet classes. Of course bring a prepared mom I brought my camera, but found out once I was there the battery was dead. It probably was for the better because it was pure chaos! Picture about 50 kids and all their parents, grandparents, aunts and uncles, none of who were listening to the instructions to sit down. So it ended up being a big circle of loved ones crowding around, pushing and shoving to see their cute little ones dance. Only because of my pregnant belly did I even have a chance of seeing Lucy dance. I was so proud of her though! In general she is very timid and add on top of that all of the chaos around her, I mean I even thought about breaking out in tears a couple of times, but she held it together and did most of all the ballet moves she was supposed to.
Here we are re-enacting all the moves she was supposed to do during the recital and of course as little sister does best, joining in on the fun.

Many faces of Lu
Can you tell someone was happy to be invited to a Honduran birthday party at Wendy's (ie LOTS of candy)?!
Ear sugar
Mrs. Kathy has this fun game she loves to play with Ellie called Ear sugar, as you can see Ellie loves it.
Durham Travels
Last week was our time to renew our 90 visa once again, and this time we traveled to Durham NC to see the McCanns. We have decided it is much easier to travel when grandparents are involved and we can actually rest and enjoy ourselves with some help.
The girls loved playing outside and exploring the big yard. They watered the flowers, swung on the swing, colored on the picnic table, played on the slip and slide, and more.
One of the many joys about the US are all the free playgrounds and we decided to take advantage of them while they were there. Ellie especially enjoyed herself since most of the playgrounds here are too big for her or too crowded to play on.
Here are the girls sporting their cute 4th of July dresses that Gannie bought.
We spent one day at the Children's museum of Life and Science. We could have literally spent our whole time here and still not explored it all.
I love this picture of Ellie holding Mac's hand.
Here is our big girl sitting on a big chair. They both loved exploring all there was to see.
Aunt Curly was able to come down for the weekend for a short visit, the girls obviously took to her well.
Other adventures that unfortunately I do not have pictures of are swimming in the pool, going to the library, eating Chick-fil-A 4 days in a row, and catching up with friends Liz Uecker and Erin Timmons. It was a wonderful trip and the girls enjoyed all the extra attention and love they received from the grandparents.

The Ballerina Story continued
We have ballet class twice a week so Lucy has thankfully gotten adjusted very fast. Here is her whole class, with her sweet teacher Mariana.
She really is doing well learning all the moves and for the most part listening and obeying to the teacher.
As you can see we now have a happy ballerina.
Here is a short clip for the grandparents and aunts who are interested of her being big and small:

Ballerina
One of my Honduran friends opened a new ballet school this year and so we wanted to put Lucy in a class to see how she would do. However, with the cost we were planning on waiting until the fall and gifting it to her for her birthday. I got a call last night from my friend saying she would love for Lucy to join her class and all expenses were paid. What a blessing!
Now for those of you who don't know Lucy, she is super shy and introverted, so I knew this would be a stretch. The first 30 minutes she spent the whole time pouting around (as you can see from the video) but the last 30 minutes she started to get a little more comfortable. So we are praying for boldness and confidence. Now we just need to find this girl some appropriate ballerina gear :)

Daddy's girls
Our girls love their daddy! Right now we are in the midst of summer teams, which is out busiest season of the year, therefore, Sean is gone most of the day working. This has made our daddy time all the more sweeter and enjoyable for the girls. Here is just a glimpse of why daddy is so fun:
Another Girl to Add to the Bunch
There is going to be a lot of hormones and lots of drama in this household but we are thankful for another healthy girl to add to our family in the Fall.
