Preschool Graduation

Carissa is forever done with preschool. We had a great experience with the First Methodist Preschool. Carissa has learned and developed so much in the past two years. We will miss them dearly and can't wait until Noah is three and can attend.

Carissa with her teachers this past year, Ms. Tammy and Mr. Ben.

Noah Turns One

Noah's first birthday was a blast. Of course, we can't believe he's one already but that is how it goes.

He started slow on the cake...

But quickly dug right in.

A few more photos can be found HERE.

2013 Dance Recital

Carissa wrapped up her third year in dance class with a recital last month. Here are a few shots:

You can view more photos from the night HERE.

Rend Collective

Early on in March we had the opportunity to see Rend Collective Experiment at New Harmony Church in Salem, MO. They are a really great group of writers and worshippers from Northern Ireland and I was excited to see they were playing a show in Salem!

They had some technical difficulties with their guitars and they ended up doing a few songs sans-sound system. Best songs of the night.

Daddy/Daughter Dance

Back in February, I had the opportunity to take Carissa to a daddy/daughter dance. She was so excited to dress up and have some time with just me.

Being silly for the camera :)

She loved her roses, too.
