The Dalton Circus: May 2009

Hey!! I hope everyone is doing ok- miss you guys.

We had a wonderful Mother's Day with our mothers! I also had some very sweet presents and surprises from my boys: dinner at my favorite restaurant, Thai Bangkok, a bouquet of tulips, my favorite flower, and all kinds of homemade cards and coupons. My actually present was a trip to the dance supply store for new Latin shoes, but they were closed and I haven't gotten a chance to return yet!

Cole's play was amazing and we are so proud of him. His soccer team finished the season UNDEFEATED!! Reese made straight A's on his progress report, which meant he brought up several grades from last term- yay!! All of the boys are doing great and ready for JUNE!!! COle is going to NYC with his drama class the week after school lets out, and Barry and I will be going separately with Reese. We'll be there at the same time, just not with his group (how embarrassing that would be). I am so excited to take Reese by himself somewhere with us!! Middle kids don't usually get that, you know? He is excited, too, and said he wants to do three things: visit the Statue of Liberty, see Yankee Stadium, and wear a tie to a fancy restaurant! Isn't that sweet? I think so.

I have a play in two weeks at school, which should be actually good this time. I think my students are taking it a little more seriously since they embarrassed themselves last time by not being prepared. We'll see. I am on the committee for the 8th grade prom, which is exciting. I get to go to the prom with Barry, which is awesome to me!! What color should I wear?? Pink or turquoise??

Barry has shingles and is in so much pain- pray for him. His headaches had finally subsided after 8 straight days, and then this. Bless his heart!

Ok, here are some pictures!! Come see us :)
