Piano Recital

The kids had their piano recital today at the Plain City Presbyterian Church. They both did a wonderful job. Dalton played Calypso Carnival and Madison played Sonatina - Allegro.

OSU Basketball Clinic

The Ohio State women's basketball team today hosted an annual clinic with the Girl Scouts Seal of Ohio Council.

The girls participated in drills coached by each member of the basketball team.
Then there was a question
and answer session.






And the day ended with a free t-shirt, packet of basketball cards of each player, a poster and an autograph session. Good times!

Declamation Contest

Congratulations to Dalton for being one of the six top scorers from the fourth grade level for the Declamation Contest. He presented his memorization of the poem today in front of the whole school. His poem was Another Note from Mom by Diane Shore. Good job Dalton!!

A Decade Old!

Happy Birthday Dalton!

Yesterday was Dalton's official 10th birthday in which we had his birthday dinner of choice, Donato's pizza, sub and wings. Today, however, we celebrated with family, Mamaw and Grandma. Aunt Cristy was out of state, but sent along her birthday wishes.

I asked Dalton yesterday how it feels to be ten years old and he said, "It doesn't feel any different than nine". I then asked him if it feels like he has been alive ten years, and he said, "It only feels like seven!" He said, "I remember running down the hall yelling, I'm three, I'm three, but don't remember much before that".

Today, Madison and I got out all the early pictures of Dalton and showed him his life before three!
