Springtime, Drum March and Soccer




It's almost spring, and in Portland that means the flowers are starting to bloom, leaves are budding and it's getting a little warmer.  Madeline's school has three main events during the year, and on March 2, 2013 we had the annual Drum March. Families were invited to the school to see the children play together, sing together and wear (or not wear, as in Maddy's case) little flowery tiaras lovingly made by Krystal and Brittney, Maddy's primary teachers.  Tom and Susan were in town and joined us for the event, which included Circle Time with the kids, as you can see here.  Many of the kids were pretty shy but I have to say I was proud that Maddy let her true colors show!



 
 We also had the joy of seeing some songs, too, which was precious!!





It was lots of fun having Tom and Susan here!  We enjoyed some great dinners, lots of chocolate (thank you Susan!) and went to the season soccer opener - Portland Timbers vs. New York Red Bulls.  The game ended as a tie - so no hard feelings for either side. It was a great game too, and it's always fun to see the Timbers Army in action.

Maddy loves her Uncle Tom and Aunt Susan and she misses them, still asking if they really had to go away on an airplane.  Come visit again soon, Tom and Susan!  We love company!
