NATIONAL HONOR SOCIETY!!!

 


Eva has been invited, and accepted into National Honor Society!  I am so proud of her hard work and effort.


I laugh, because I am always telling her to "go to bed," "it's late." and she refuses.  "Mom, I have work to do."


She might be tired but she has added another club to her list.  We laugh that we might not even see her next year.


Congratulations Eva!!!

Easter Fun

 Easter is always up in the air.


Sometimes we are in HH.


Sometimes we are home.


The weather can be ew.


Or, gorgeous!


This Easter, I was thankful to be home.  Dyleva found their baskets hanging from the shower stall in the basement and under the Harry Potter stairs.


We met my sisters and extended cousins at brunch in the Northtowns.  It was nice!  We do not see them that often.  We took advantage of many photo ops.

Beautiful ceramics

Eva brought home some pottery that she created at school. I loved it!  I mean, I find the beauty in anything my children create.  

Legit, Eva made a beautiful representation of the Hilton Head lighthouse, which she gifted to her tia y tio. A little jealous.  It was very thoughtful.  It had all kinds of personal references to memories etched inside. 




She also brought home a head.  I think its kind of cool, but she wont let me have it.  It is sitting upstairs in a box.  Undisplayed. 

Anyway.  Fast forward to Mother's Day.  I have low expectations.  This year, however, my family bought me a bike.  This was very thoughtful.  I would never have bought myself a new bike.  Since my car is going, a bike might come in handy.


Also, Eva gave me one of her sculptures.  It wasn't the head, or the lighthouse, but a pencil for my classroom.  Thank you Eva xoxo

Lancaster Modified comes out strong!

 Modified wins the Tournament.

The Divisional win!!!

 Reagals won the division

NYC!

 Eva joined the travel team this year.  She just returned from NYC!  They went to see Sunset Boulevard and had dinner at Carmine's.  The next day was spent rehearsing before their big night.  

I watched her performance live on a link.  She did fantastic.  Her solo was to Mamma Mia.

The last day they explored around Times Square and then she flew home.  I am glad she is home safe.

My Little Working Girl

February break came well deserved this year.  Dylan had a tournament in Columbus that butted up against the week off.  I couldn't make it, but the rest of the family went and had a great time.  









Eva, took a job over the break.  ATA was looking for teaching assistants for the week.  My little girl essentially gave up her week off to make a little extra money.  I was very proud of her and applauded her mature decision.  After all, she is traveling to NYC in two months and could use a little extra $$$.
    


Other than that, not too much exciting went on during the week.  But I will always enjoy a week away.
