Fathers' Day

Here's this year's Fathers' Day card.  

Dance Recital

Amelia is on the far left in the videos.  She was a dancing poodle in her dance schools version of Noah's Ark.

Gymnastics Parents' Day

May

For the last lesson of the year, parents got to watch and participate in gymnastics.

Last Weeks of Pre-School

May 2013

In the last weeks of school, Mummy got to visit Amelia at pre school a few times.  For snack day (when I get to hang out with her during a regular school day), Mothers Day Teas, then with Daddy, Grandma Marilyn and Zoe for her final program.

(Please excuse the super long video.  Amelia likes to watch them).

Minnesota Trip

May 2013

We made the trip up to Minnesota back in May to visit Grandma Becky and Grandpa Jim and go to a Twins baseball game.  Grandma, Kate and the girls made a trip to the Children's Museum which was lots of fun.

Children's Museum

Amelia loved delivering the mail around the city.  Apparently this was one of Kevin's favourite games as a child too.

Bonfire at Uncle Mark's House

Mall of America

Amelia still doesn't know about the shopping opportunities (or the American Girl Dolls).  We just have a blast at the theme park.  Long may it last.

Twins Game

 

We stayed til the end of the game. . . just after 10pm.  The girls got a bit wired :)

Playing on the Ride Home

Gymnastics Meet

October Update:  Here's the video



Amelia did great at her gymnastics meet in front of the whole family including both Grandmas and Grandpa Jim.  Well done for doing your best and tying for 1st place Amelia!

A Note from Kate

You may have noticed that we're not quite as punctual at updating the blog as we once were. If you'd like to see pictures a bit more frequently and are on Facebook, add Kate as a friend (try searching for Kate McLean in Waukee).  I tend to take lots of pictures on the go on my phone and post them more promptly :).
