365 ~ 2015: Day 177

The boys had the chance to try out rock climbing for the first time at a friends birthday party today.  They didn't do too bad.  David made it up the highest and Evan barely left the ground.  They have Mom's "fraidy cat" genes, I guess!  I wouldn't have even put the harness on, so they did better than I would have!

365 ~ 2015: Day 174

Shaun has been composing over the last couple of months.  He spent his last few lessons fine tuning his piece with his teacher.  Yesterday when I asked him what he worked on during his first summer lesson, he said he was working on "Dark Beauty".  It wasn't until this morning that I realized it was HIS piece!  He titled it and it's a very fitting title.  Perhaps you are looking at the next John Williams!

365 ~ 2015: Day 170

On Thursday David played in the championship game for his baseball league.  His team finished the regular season in first place, but was unable to get that last and final win for the championship.  There was a moment of sadness, but they brushed it off and went out to shake hands and congratulate the winning team.  His coach, all season long, stressed what it was to show good sportsmanship and the boys took it to heart.

There were runner up trophies passed out and his face lit up!  He ran over to us and yelled "MY FIRST TROPHY!".  He worked hard all season long, learning from his coach and the older kids on his team.  It was a lot of fun to watch.

365 ~ 2015: Day 167

Evan is determined to ride on 2 wheels this summer!  He started practicing with Dad on the makeshift balance bike!  He struggled when we added the pedals, but he didn't do bad for his first time and we were proud of him for trying!

365 ~ 2015: Day 166

First grade success night!  We are so proud of our middle, he's come so far this year.  I was most impressed by the improvement of his penmanship from the start of the year to now!  Second grade here he comes!

365 ~ 2015: Day 161

Needs work, but it was fun playing around with my light.  And I got a much better genuine smile than the strangers at Lifetouch did!

365 ~ 2015: Day 156

Kind of fitting that on the day a horse wins the Triple Crown (which apparently has not happened since 1978), I was hanging out on a working horse farm all day doing the photo taking thing!

365 ~ 2015: Day 152

Someone was being awfully quiet, this was where I found him.  After I quickly snapped this image, I asked him what he was making.  He said he was drawing a map.

365 ~ 2015: Day 151

Cold, rainy day means comfort food for dinner!  Who would have guessed we'd be having seafood chowder on June 1st because it felt more like winter than summer!
