Marathon Day

May 19th ... we did it all.  Started with Tball at 8am.

Then hot-tub removal!



Then Vivie's first recital!  Vivie was not at all nervous for her bug debut.  We got all dressed up in her costume and took a quick family photo before heading over to the Galvin middle school.  I dropped her off in the gym, waiting a bit for some of her friends to arrive.  As I dropped her in the gym and returned to find our seats, she wasn't nervous at all.  There were lots of great dancers all the way through seniors in high school and we were impressed by all the numbers.  Finally after about 45 minutes it was Vivie's turn.  Pip was very excited to see his sister on stage!!  Megan was just excited to squirm out of my arms ... note to self, 13 month olds don't like sitting still for 2 hours.  Vivie did great dancing to Lynn Andersen's Rocky Top.  She remembered her moves, even if there was a bit of confusion sometimes on the line.  When she was done, Pip and I screamed at the top of our lungs for her!  Our video did not turn out so great, but below is the video from her dress rehearsal!






Then Pips tried ice skates for the first time at JJ's birthday party.  He was impressive.  It was hard, but rather than give up, he accepted that falling would be a part of it.  We got gloves at the pro shop and he used the crates at first.  Soon he wanted no part of them, other than to break his falls.  He made huge progress by the end and wants to try again!!  Go Pip.  Very proud of him!  


Then, finally, it was off to Rob's 40th birthday party.  Managed to be the last one's standing, but boy were we tired!!
