where did the time go...

Team Pepsi has begun their softball season and players #6 and #7 are loving their purple uniforms!

As Margo has been watching softball games since she was in a baby carrier, she understands the game.  Mekdes, as one would guess, has no idea how the game works and this makes for a humorous dynamic between player #6 and #7.  You will often hear Margo yelling at Mekdes to "RUN" or "PAY ATTENTION".  Mekdes' main concern is what the treat is after the game.  The whole concession stand thing is like a dream come true for Mekdes.  A small hut that is full of sugar treats....what a marvelous invention!

The older girls are looking forward to school being out and there are lots of end of the year activities going on the complicate our schedule exponentially!  It is hard to believe that Anna will be in high school next year and Kate is starting middle school...where did the time go?  

This picture before a big soccer game seems like it was just yesterday!  They were so sweet then, without adolescent attitude and drama....oh how I miss that innocence!  

Here are my lovely ladies now.  Kate just had an end of the year orchestra concert--she plays a mean violin!  And Emme and Anna had their year end choir concert.  I love that all our girls enjoy music and they all have a real talent for it.  My mom was always singing, playing the piano and guitar when we were growing up.  I do not have the musical gene, so I am thrilled that my girls seem to have picked up on my mom's talent!
