Life as I know it

I'm ashamed of myself for letting so much time pass since my last post. Time sure gets away from you, doesn't it?

I thought about listing my weekly schedule, but I know when I do that it won't look as full as it feels. Nonetheless, we have several things going on right now. Emma and I still have dance class ... we're in the final stretch before the big recital on Saturday, June 4. Chris and I are part of the new worship band at our church, and we have practice once a week. Emma just started having t-ball practice each week. Her games will be each Saturday starting June 4, and the "season" will last for 7 weeks. And it just so happens that Emma's practices are at the exact same time as band practice, so I will be taking a short hiatus from the band.

Usually something else comes up each week on one night or another. Plus Chris's work has really ramped up, and he is going to have to be out of town from time to time in the coming weeks.

This Saturday, Chris and I are going to the X103 May Day concert. Chris got two free VIP tickets (and VIP parking!) from his work. High falootin', huh? And then we have the big Heacock family race party on Sunday. Hopefully the weather cooperates.

I know it will only get worse as Emma gets older and into more activities. But I will make a concerted effort to blog more.

Emma and I are off to the dentist today for cleanings. Fun times.

Graffiti

You know what they say: The family who does graffiti together stays together.

Or something like that.

After dinner on Thursday evening, Chris, Emma, Norbert, and I went for a walk around our end of the neighborhood. And since the weather was so nice, after we got back home, we brought out the sidewalk chalk and decorated not only our driveway but also our house and the brick pillars out by the road.

 She wrote "Daddy poops," then Chris put "EMMA" above it. Thanks for teaching her to spell that word, Daddy!

 My two favorite graffiti artists tagging our house.

 Norbert even joined in on the fun. He didn't even lay on the chalk this time.

 Chris did the "LOOK BOTH WAYS," and Emma added her own flair.

This was a contribution of my own.

Emma even drew a portrait of Norbert. Pretty good likeness, don't you think?

It was so nice to be outside as a family. I'm such a lucky girl to have such a great family!
