1st Recital

One of the moments I have thought about since finding out we were having a little girl! I teared up a little when Heidi went on stage for her first dance. Getting ready went well - there might have been a little argument about whether she or I would be applying the make-up {Heidi was allowed to put on her blush}. The costume might have been a little itchy, but she sucked it up :)

 

 

I am so proud of Heidi and how well she performed at her recital. With the great help of Paula, Heidi went on stage with the promise of a lollipop to reward her for a great performance. Thank you Paula for helping Heidi back stage so I could rush back to my seat and video her first performance! Thankfully Heidi's grandparents were able to go to the recital as well to help with the munchkins as well - I could not have done it alone. 

The tap was the first dance and Heidi smiled, sang, and danced her little heart out! I videoed and fed Harrison at the same time. Poor little guy always being nursed in the most random situations {the dentist has to be the most unique}. After the tap dance we had a little break before ballet, but then we had to head back and the breakdown started a little bit. I thought there were going to be huge tears on stage - anyone remember Jingle Bells? I stayed back stage with Heidi most of the time trying help her stay calm and not do anything to upset her so that she would go on stage with a happy face. Once again Paula came to the rescue taking Heidi so that I could once again rush to my seat to watch. I might have bulldozed through a man blocking a door, but I did not even stop to apologize - so to the man I ran through, sorry, but some rules I will break to make sure not to miss a moment of my daughter's life :)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Daddy had an annual golf tournament, but he made sure to send his sweet girl flowers!

 

Pool Time?

John took Heidi to school this morning for and it was crazy hair day. I had no idea how crazy to get, so we played it safe. Heidi is a play it safe kind of girl anyway, so it worked for both of us :) While Heidi was at school Harrison and I hung out. I had a million things to do, but I was glued to the TV watching the manhunt in Boston.

I called my dad to see what the pool temperature was for today. It was 77 degrees - sounds amazing right? So, I planned for all of us to go swimming after picking Heidi up for school. We got to my parent's house and Heidi played for a bit and then we changed into our swimsuits. Harrison laid in a crib. We put our feet in and it was freezing! Definitely did not feel like 77 degrees to me. Since it was so cold we mainly just put our feet in and Heidi splashed around on the first couple of steps.

That was our day! John came over to my parents house for dinner and then we went home. I also wanted to share a few other pictures {I still need to share Easter don't I?} from Heidi's dance picture day and the fun way she wanted to watch a DVD while daddy watched the Masters.
