We took the girls to see Disney on Ice’s Dare to Dream show.  It was fantastic.  Miss C loved seeing Snow White and the seven dwarfs and Miss S loved Rapunzel’s part of the show.  We had a fabulous afternoon.

Miss C’s school worked hard on their spring concert.  All the children were involved in creating an opera. She played the part of an alien and had such a fun time.  She spent many hours practicing the songs and the dance movements at home.  My heart was bursting watching her.  I was so proud of my little Miss C.  {No photos as cell phones were not to be used during the concert.}

We had a great day out at our local zoo.  The animals were very active that day.

Giraffe and Zebra
These two were best friends on the day we were there. The giraffe was following the zebra around.

I had such a lovely Mother’s Day.  My girls made me pictures, cards and poems.  I am blessed.  I also received a FitBit.  I have been working on my weight and health and this was such a perfect gift. Now I just need to figure out how to use it!

My husband and I were lucky enough to attend The Piano Guys concert at a local auditorium this week. They were absolutely wonderful live (and very funny).  We had an awesome date night.

I also have some sad news to share. Miss S’s lovely hamster, Bella, passed away this week. She was a gentle, loving pet and will be missed.
