365 ~ 2013: Day 298

Tonight was David's first piano recital!  He has been practicing all week and had even memorized his piece.  Tonight, though, he blanked in the middle.  He sat their for what seemed like an eternity, poised and calm and then he found his place and and finished his song.  Even though he forgot his notes, I was so proud of his composure up on stage in front of all those people.

365 ~ 2013: Day 293

Yesterday I dressed the husband and children up so that I could take our annual family portraits!  I'm really happy with how they turned out but cannot get past the pose.  The boys were so nice to humor me for some retakes today but in the end we'll stick with the original.  Here is one of just the kiddos.  This is going to look great in the new frame I just got for the family room!

365 ~ 2013: Day 287

Yesterday we headed to our friends to celebrate Brady and Cameron turning 8 and 6!  They had a Halloween theme this year so the boys were excited to be able to wear their costumes.  The kids all had a blast.  My favorite part was eating some of that yummy chocolate cake with peanut butter frosting!  YUM!

365 ~ 2013: Day 286

Today was race day!  It was a gorgeous day, the boys had fun ringing their cow bells and getting high fives from Daddy as he crossed the 13th mile.  This race we can't wait right at the finish, but we are close enough!  Official results are in thanks to the new race technology!  I was able to get them texted to me at the 5, 10 mile markers and the finish line!  He raced a whole THREE minutes faster than last year.  We are so proud!
