Spring Break!

  For Spring break, I decided to introduce the kids to Pro Bass Shop. I thought it would be fun for them to see the animals, but they couldn't care less about them. They did like the shooting range and the boats, though. 

    Afterward, we hit the library. While Teddy played with the toys, Henry and Emily got their own library cards. The library is near the elementary school, so they get to go to the library with their classes. 

 The second day, we went to Science City. It was packed with people, but we had a great time.

    I think they liked it. The next day, we went to Cardboard Cafe. We took 2 of Lizzy's friends, who had never been there before. We played some fun games and ate some delicious food.

    The next day, I flew out to New York, so I left the kids with Daniel. They finished out the week playing at home. 
    

New Beginnings

     While Lizzy's schooling is winding down, Teddy's is just starting. I got him all set up for the coming school year. It's the weirdest thing, having my baby going to school, having an empty house during the school day. I'm not sure how to feel about all of this, but he is so ready.

Lizzy got to help with the wrestler's fundraising event.

    Lizzy had an awards night for her GPA. They served dinner in the cafeteria and had the Jazz band perform. It was fun.

    Pi Day! I texted our family and made a billion pies! It was fun. We played some games afterward. 

Making State

     Lizzy headed to State this year with 4 other qualifiers. Daniel, Teddy, Lizzy's friend Rosilee, and I went up on Friday to cheer her on. 

Rosealie had brought her a candy bouquet as well as a real one.

Lizzy was excited and ready.

Both our girls won their first matches. Look how pleased Lizzy is.

    After her match, Lizzy was caught in her opponent's legs. She tapped her to get her to let go; unfortunately, her opponent had blacked out. Luckily, Lizzy's knowledge from watching the Pitt and her quick thinking revived her by rubbing her sternum. The medic was impressed with her.

They had to take her out on a stretcher.

That was the end of the first day. Her old coach came to cheer them on.

On Saturday, Emily and Charles joined us in the cheering.

We stopped for lunch at Murray's, a jazz restaurant with a great grilled cheese. I mean, look at this cheese pull!

This was parked outside.

Lizzy ended up taking 6th place! We are so proud of her!

Lizzy and Aubry!

We had 4 state winners, JP took first, Aubry and Arron took 5th. 

It was a great weekend, and we are so proud of her accomplishments.
