School Performance (and more!)

So last week Ryan's school had their silent auction and class performances, and I guess "graduation" for the kids going up to kindergarden. Ryan's class sang three songs. I've posted a video of one of them, but as you can see she is only barely following along.

I was hoping to post a cute video each month on here, so I had her redo a couple of the songs yesterday at home and she did much better. I don't know all the words to these - she must have learned them completely at school. Enjoy! (Watch the bottom video first!)

Mary Lou Ryan is Back!

Ryan has been on gymnastics hiatus since last spring - but finally started back and is loving it. Saturday was "parent observation day" so Tommy and I dutifully toted botht the camera and the video camera to class. And you know how I love a good comparison. Here are some shots of Ryan's class last spring versus this spring. I guess she has changed some this year - enjoy!

Hanna, Ethan, Ryan, and Henry

Olga and Alex hosted one of the gatherings of law school friends and family that we try to do a few times a year (we have all promised to do better). It was so much fun. We missed the Hamricks and George and Bryan today and hope everyone feels better. Everyone had lots and lots of fun passing around baby Henry (though most of us got spit up on). Ryan had an absolute blast playing with "big kids" Hanna and Ethan. She let them roll her up in a blanket and push her down the slide! Olga took lots and lots of pics - here are just a few. If you want to see the other album (or buy the pictures for your own album) just click on our photo site "Churchill Chatter" - it is linked on the side. Enjoy!
