Max had a field day at school... I was allowed to come along and watch...

He basically wanted to do every single event and quickly! And it was chilly....

This was just a timed race - like the 40 yard dash

Max's Music Class Concert

Max's music class has been learning songs to sing and play on the recorder. They also learned about singing in rounds. They had a little concert near the end of the year. It was so cute and Max did a great job, he really got into it, playing his recorder like a saxophone (moving it up and down) and really doing the arm movements that they were supposed to do!

red winged black bird

we see these every day on our walk. I had to look up what kind of bird it was. Leo is so confused that he can't fly and get to them.

pictures by the blooming tree

Back in May when the trees were blooming, I made my family walk over near one for pictures... Not a huge success, but I still have a ton of pictures to share from it.

they first got in the tree

Zoey is at the age where she doesn't like seeing pictures of herself, so she also doesn't like taking them. I get a lot of photos like this...

the only real smile I get from Max, is when he is getting in the way of Zoey's picture.

And Max being goofy on the other side of the camera. He thought it was funny to walk towards us as he took the picture.
