Dress Rehersal

Dress Rehersal was Thursday June 3, it is always exciting to see a whole years worth of dance lessons come together onstage.
This year was Lauren's first year and she did such a fabulous job~ she wasn't even nervous to go onstage! She was so much fun to watch and such a natural!
Emma did amazing this year-everthing just seemed to come together. She got so many compliments on her form and how much fun it was to watch her!

1st Grade Graduation

Wednesday June 2 Emma graduated with flying colors from first grade. We are officially the parents of a second grader. Where does the time go?? Wasn't it just yesterday we were sending her off to preschool?? As we get ready to send Lauren to preschool this fall, her second grade year seems so far away!

During the closing service each child was presented with an award. This award was just one of their many special qualites, something that they specifically excel in. Emma recieved her award for excellence in determination and always striving to do her best. This is so very true-as she always wants to do well. We are so grateful to the Trinity Luthern School and especially her teacher Mrs. Sprengeler. She is truly a blessing to all who know her.

Congratulations Emma ~ We love you so much!

Our family

Emma also recieved A's on her Report Card the entire year of First Grade (there were also quite a few A+'s!!). This is a huge accomplishment and we are extrememly proud of her hard work!

They also test each child three times a year (beginning, middle, and end of the school year) on their reading ablity. Emma scored almost double the class average in reading each time they tested! We have always made reading a fun thing to do in our house. I have read to them both since they were born. I love to read and am so happy that Emma loves it too :)

He did what was pleasing in the Lord's sight.....As long as he sought guidance from the Lord, God gave him success. 2 Chronices 26:4-5

Talent Show

Every year Trinity holds a Talent Show at the end of the year. This year it was held the morning of the last day of school. There was a really good turnout and it is always fun to watch the kids perform. Emma chose to do gymanstics. She did floor and beam. The beam she used was from the school and was not regulation size but she did great!
Some skills she did on the beam:
cartwheel
handstand
leap
handstand dismount
Skills she did on floor:
press handstand
backhandspring
back walkover-backhandspring step out
I am learning quickly that I am going to need a better camera in order to get pictures of her doing her gymanstics!

I am with you always, to the very end of age. Matthew 28:20
