Around here we’re taking our third ballet class of the year and getting ready for the spring performance where we get to wear a purple leotard with tulle. It’s somebody’s dream come true. Harper’s, too.
Around here we’re back to playing soccer, and we’re giving goalie another shot. Look at that posing. “Oh no you DON’T,” is what she’s saying. On the ride over that day, Hadley said she hoped she didn’t have to play goalie (because of what happened last time), but in true Hadley form, she ran out enthusiastically when the coach asked her to play. I was nervous, but Jesse and another father stood behind her giving her some tips and probably telling her not to be afraid. Out of about six shots, Hadley let up one or two. She told me later she needed some goalie gloves because she is ALL about playing goalie now. I am thankful for the guys who stood behind Hadley helping her do a thing she was afraid to do.
Around here we participated in the Science Fair. Hadley did research on “The Great Red Spot” on Jupiter (she and Jesse made a vortex and recorded it). Harper conducted an experiment to see what our neighborhood birds eat. She hung three kinds of food on the tree next to our house and took notes on what happened. The most regular costumers were a cardinal and his lady friend. Spring love, I think.
How much do you love Hadley’s face when she spotted me taking pictures? I swear that’s the face she gave me when we first met. And Harper? Harper is eternally in her own world.
