Super Spring Fun!

I just finished writing out Emily's birthday invitations and thought I'd better catch up on my blog.

We have had a busy spring! It's hard to believe that summer is almost here. On May 22, I had emergency eye surgery for a detached retina. I had a shadow over the top right corner of my left eye. Fortunately, I didn't let it go as I could have lost my vision in that eye entirely. It certainly put a new twist on life for a few weeks. With the gas bubble in my eye, activities like lifting and bending over were limited for a couple weeks and I just began driving to school yesterday. Thank goodness for my fabulous mom and wonderful colleagues who carted me around for four weeks. I have about three-quarters of the vision back in my eye now. It's blurry but it's progress!

Emily's spring has been particularly busy with Brownies, t-ball, swimming lessons, her school's Flag Day Celebration, year-end school picnic, Memorial Day parade, and dance recital. Erin has cheerfully come along for the ride in all cases (except the dance recital). We went to the Spencerport Firemen's Carnival last weekend. It was a nice night...a little cool...and the girls had lots of fun.

We have a lot on our plates this week too! Emily's last t-ball game is Tuesday, her last day of school is Wednesday, my last day is Thursday, her 7th birthday is Friday, and we leave for Cape Cod with Mom, Dad, and Aunt Sharon on Saturday. Phew! It will be a welcome vacation. Dave and I, along with Aunt Sharon, are treating my parents to this vacation for their 40th anniversary in August. The girls can't wait to get to the beach!

Happy Father's Day to all!

Batter Up!

Emily has been playing t-ball for about a month now and is really enjoying it. She plays for the Orioles. Daddy was hoping for the Red Sox! The league does a great job of coaching the kids on their skills. They play 3 innings with no outs and everyone gets to bat. They rotate both field positions and places in the batting line-up. Game nights are Tuesdays and Thursdays but Emily has dance on Thursdays so she has missed those games. Her recital was yesterday (I'll post pics soon) so we'll get to the Thursday games now.
