Skate Smart

Skating  smart meant skating slow until everybody was back in the hang of things.

Off and Skating

Now we're off and running skating.

Skate Friends

Some girl power on the floor.

Ice Cream, Cake & Cake

And what a day for this amazing six year old.

Mentoring

I couldn't help but smile as Isabella wanted to help teach little Emily how to play air hockey.

Breakfast, at Last

Look who is eating breakfast these days.  Yes, Isabella has woken me up twice this week and wanted to go downstairs for breakfast.   The girl who has faithfully rejected breakfast for five and half years has decided she like it after all.  Can you say "Leggo Love?"

Sometimes, progress is made while wearing bed head.

Heavenly Bed

Look who made up her own bed for the very first time.  Yes, not exactly the way Mom or I would have done it but it is a start.  A very good start.

And the best part, no one asked her to do it.  Hallelujah, there is a God!

Kindergarten Program

E.I. E. I. O.

The family enjoyed watching Isabella's kindergarten program, further proof she has just about conquered her Kindergarten year.

The Highest Level

An impromptu after school bike ride, our first of the year, brought some unexpected changes. I had to raise Isabella's bicycle seat to it's highest level.  That means two things - it's time for a new bike and it's time to teach her to ride without training wheels.

Attention, Dad - summer is here and it's time to bike up.

Teacher Appreciation

Yes, their are angels among us. We are so thankful for Ms. Pantall and her gift of teaching.  Her investment in our Isabella will never be forgotten.

Mothers Day 2015

Celebrating this amazing lady my children call Mommy. While we try to celebrate her many gifts every day, today we celebrate her Mommy gift.  Happy Birthday, Deborah.

It Felt Like...

Like a good day to grill hot dogs and eat outside.  And what do you know, we accidental bought double stuffed ice cream sandwiches.  But Dad didn't mind.

Two Weeks - In Her Bed

And that earns our big girl in her big bed a trip to Build a Bear.  Oh and what a treat - for Mommy and Me.  And we are all sleeping better at night.

Welcome Hippity Hoppity to the Cain family.

Spring Evenings

Nothing better than spring evenings with these beauty's.

Make Up Much?

Isabella was a make-up model for her dance class.  Their recital is getting close and here comes the make-up.  Oh well, I guess I can survive one night.

Stolen

Daddy stole another Kindergarten lunch with Bella - time is running out as the year comes to end, trying to capture every moment.

Scarf Fashion

Our little Penguin has developed a thang for scarves.  In the grand scheme of life, I'll say that's a good thang to have as a thang. We are learning more about who she is everyday.

Little Lady in Business

Daddy was honored to have the family along for a business weekend.  Isabella was a the perfect little lady as we helped our friend John Shannon celebrate 150 years in business.

Cheetahfest 2015

Isabella enjoying her very first Cheetahfest  at Chapman's retreat. What a year it has been!

Busted

Keep your eye on these two.
