Skylar's soccer team

Skylar is standing in the back row all the way to the left

Sky played soccer this past spring in the training division of the west hartford girls soccer league. She did fairly well, but I'm not sure if she will be back to play next year. the team name was the orange cheethos! here are a few pictures....

Sky's gymnastics show

Skylar had been taking gymnastics throughout this past year, and she is getting really good at it. She had her recital about a month ago, she got to show us her bar routine, floor exercise and trampoline, it was a nice show, but super hot in the gym. I videotaped the show, so I don't have too many pictures. At the end of the show, all the kids were called one by one and got medals for participation as well as a certificate of achievement :)

We have been remodeling our screened porch into a living space we can use year round, its going to add much needed space to our house. Matt is doing all the work himself. It looks so good, he only had painting and ceiling left to do, and maybe a few other odds and ends. here are a few pics of how the work is going...

WOW, its been a while...

So, I have been slacking with these posts. A lot has been going on in our lives, and I had other things going on. Let me see, we have our forth litter of foster kittens, I am volunteering twice a week at the humane society in the maternity ward and LOVE IT. I hope it turns into a paying job soon, keep your fingers crossed for me! We also just got back from our summer vacation to Cape Cod, it was so beautiful there, I had a hard time coming home. The beached are fabulous and the whole atmosphere is different, its more relaxed and slow moving, its my kind of place. I will live there someday, mark my words. What else has been going on.... Skylar's birthday is coming up, her party is on Saturday. She is having a fairy party, it should be a lot of fun, and a lot of her friends will be here to celebrate, I'm really happy for her. I can't believe she is going to be 6 years old, how time flies, wow. And Lilly will be 2 next month, she is going to have a dinosaur party with a hint of mail man, that's her new thing, she always points out the mail trucks and gets so excited about it, its really cute.
