Backtracking on the last 3 months

I don't know if I have ever taken a break this long from recording the things going on in our family.  May just seemed to be so busy.  A good busy.  And sometimes it is better to look at things when have a little more perspective.  May with school kids is the same every year.  Hectic. School projects, recitals, performances, open house and the ending of the school year, make it full of hustle and bustle. These Snapchat filters say it all while we were waiting for Sammie's 5th grade Performance "Shhh...We're Writing the Constitution."  Olivia had a middle school drama performance that I didn't get a picture of. oops.  

I always love watching Sammie sing.  She has such a cute expression on her face when she sang in both her 5th grade performance and in her choir concert.  Her school choir sang so beautifully.  Their teacher does such a great job teaching.  She is a busy girl with all of the things she has been doing.  She even played in a Spring Soccer League which Joey also ended up coaching sort of by default.  The person who volunteered ended up not being able to come to games and practices.

 Abby had a pajama day at school.  Wearing pajamas to school always seems so fun to kids.  I'd rather not go out in my pajamas, but she enjoyed her day.  It's always a little hard for us to scrounge up some decent looking pajamas that are not too small, or not too hot, or not tank tops and shorts.  Luckily we had these cute ones and she even dressed up her stuffed animal in her matching doll pajamas.

 Sammie and Abby both performed in their piano recital.  Abby just started with a teacher different than myself.  We took a break in the summer but we're starting up again.  They don't enjoy practicing at the moment, but that's the way it is with learning an instrument.

 I had a recital for my music students.  I can't believe all the students I have now.  I enjoy teaching each and every one of them.  I love having music in my home.  I love teaching.  I love that I can share my love of music with them.  It has been a very fulfilling part of my life right now and I'm glad that all of my students will be starting back up next week after being in and out of town over the summer.
