The Last Week of School/Kindergarten

D had her dance recital the Wednesday of the last week of school. They look ready to perform!

On Friday, the last day of kindergarten, D's school held an Olympic-themed field day. D's class represented the country of Taiwan and they had to wear the flag's colors.

End of Year Performance Day

At the end of the year at D's school, students in each classroom put together a performance to show what they have learned throughout the year. D's class put on a play where each child was an animal (D was an elephant) and they acted out a short skit. It was quite impressive to hear all they could say and sing in Chinese.

Here's a flashback to D and her teacher before kindergarten started.

Memorial Day Weekend

We celebrated Memorial Day at my parents' place. The cousins had a great time swimming and playing together.

Visit from Uncle Bill

Bill flew in to town (literally, of course) on Tuesday and wanted to take us out to dinner. We went to Cossetta's in St. Paul and had some great Italian food.

The kids really enjoyed the gelato after dinner.

So fun to visit with Uncle Bill.

Silly time!

We spent Mother's Day weekend at the cabin. The kids and I did a 200-piece puzzle together. Success!
