Theater - The Enchanted Castle

Nana and Pop came to visit for the weekend.  They came to see Kaylea’s first show.  She was very excited to see them and enjoyed spending time with them.  Kaylea has been working hard the past 12 weeks preparing for her play.  She decided to play Beca from Pitch Perfect.  We were able to watch her perform both Saturday and Sunday.  She did a great job with her lines and seemed to enjoy doing the show.  I think she is looking forward to sleeping in on Saturdays. 

The Creek

We went over to the VanDyk’s last weekend to hang out.  While we were there, we discovered the creek in the neighborhood.  This was a great find.  Kaylea is loving the creek and has been back at least twice since.  It looks like we will need some creek gear for the summer.

Mother's Day

This year we celebrated Mother’s Day with dinner out at Uno’s.  After dinner, my mom and I went shopping. She rarely gives me any gift ideas, so it was nice taking her shopping this year.  She picked out a purse and a pair of shoes.  It was a nice day with the family.  I’m thankful that God made me Kaylea’s mom.

Girl Scout Fire Station Visit

The Lorton Station Fire Department came to Girl Scouts this week.  The Girl Scouts had 12 boxes of cookies to present to the fire fighters.  They did a great job of teaching the children about fire safety and what a fire fighter does.

Take Our Sons & Daughters to Work

The Postal Service hosted the Take Our Sons & Daughters to Work Day last week.  It is an annual event, but it is the first time I have been at Headquarters.  Kaylea was so excited to come to work with me and I was super excited to have her.  The Post Office did an awesome job of planning interactive activities and allowing the kids to learn.  Kaylea attended a meeting, did some work shredding papers, and made her own conference call.
