Flat Lily!!!

Today was so exciting!!! The mail came and Lily saw that she had received a package! She opened it and inside was Flat Lily! She started jumping up and down! She had mailed it off about a month ago! She opened the book to see where Flat Lily has been and it is better than we could have even expected!

First Flat Lily went to Charlotte, N.C. to visit Jason's cousin, Kelly and her two kids, Parker and Payton! Here they are with Flat Lily on the Light Rail Train in downtown Charlotte!

It takes too long for me to post all of the pictures and I couldn't work my scanner so these are just pictures of the pages of Lily's book! They also went to the Duke Energy Building where their Nana works and it is 48 stories tall!

Here is a picture of them with the Charlotte signt that shows how far it is to all of the other Charlottes in the U.S.

They also went to the Isanart Sculpture called Lacabeza at the park.

Then they went to one of my favorite places....Myrtle Beach for Spring Break!

They did such a great job! So fun to read and look at the pictures! We felt almost like we were on vacation there! :)

Next, they mailed it to my friend Rachel and her son Lewis in Hawaii! We are very jealous of Flat Lily for making it there before we will!

They went to the North Shore on Oahu on an overcast day! They stopped in front of the Hale'iwa iconic white bridge.

Here they are at the popular shrimp trucks for lunch!

They went to the Aokis' shaved ice shop for a rainbow treat! So fun!

So thankful to our friends!

Also I love making learning fun! What a fun project! Oh and I am sure we will be sending Flat Lily out to more friends!

Proud moments!!

Just wanting to add some proud moments from this month.

Co-op just ended and we had an end of the year talent show. Lily was in a reader's theater play about Johnny Appleseed. She was the narrator and did such a great job of reading and speaking clearly. So proud!

Valerie was in the talent show with two of her friends and they all sang the Itsy Bitsy Spider. Valerie was too shy to stand up by herself, but she sat on my lap and sang and did the hand motions. So proud of her!

Lily also has been working more this spring on riding her bike without training wheels and she is finally getting very calm on it. She can also stop and work her brakes which was an issue for awhile....especially since we are on a hill. Very proud of her for working hard at it!

Now Daphne started taking steps several weeks ago when she was 9 months. Last night she was just in a great mood for walking and start taking as many as 10 steps. Today she would just let go of what she was holding onto and would come to me! Love it. She is so excited as she should be...she is awesome!

All three of my girls are such a joy to my heart and make me so proud! I am such a blessed mommy!
