Sophia's Easter Concert

Easter is nearly here and it is time for the children of London Bridge Baptist Preschool to celebrate the season.  On Sunday evening, Sophia and Connor joined their classes in the school's Easter Program.

The Wolavers drop by so we can walk across the street togerther.  Here, Carter, Connor, Sophia and Gianni pose in their Sunday best.

Gianni is ready for the show to start.

Scott, Kerri, and Carter also prepare for the show to begin.

Sophia on stage!

Sophia makes final preps before she breaks out in song.

 

Miss Sylvia calls Sophia to the front of the room.

After the Easter program, the parents got a chance to view the children's artwork in the school's annual art show.

Our Sophia is a budding artist.  Here you see "Dog Meets Cat."

Weekend with Daddy

As Mommy headed up to Washington DC with the Dolphin Store, Daddy planned a fun-filled weekend with the kids.  The first order of business was to head to First Landing park and conduct a scanvenger hunt.

The list!

 Gianni is a bit confused about the object of the game.

 Sophia has clipboard in hand and is ready to go.

 Look Daddy, leaves!

I found a pine cone and now I am going to chuck it in the water.

 I think I see a turtle.

 Let's take a look at the map.

 Sophia and Gianni compare lists.

 Almost done.

 This is the point where Gianni loses focus.

So we meet again young Jedi.

 And we get a look at the elusive Grumpy Old Troll who lives under the bridge.

Daddy and Gianni pose while Sophia takes a photo.

The kids climb up the log.  Why not?

 Daddy is ready to wrap-up the day.

No, I am not smiling to cover up something I have done wrong!

Game, set match!

The Great Strides walk day has finally arrived and the Spencers' Striders team is ready to go!

Leslie, Kerri, and Joan soak up the sunshine.

Brigid, Danete, and Katy walk fast so they can hit the stores and do some shopping.

 

Still together!

 

The ladies of SOSA (Submarine Officers' Spouses' Association) strike a pose.

Sophia and Gianni enjoy a bit of post-walk fun coloring the sidewalk.

Thank you to everyone who donated to the Spencers Striders team...we raised over $5,000!!!

Races

The Spencers kicked off the spring season with some fun road races!

Sophia and Gianni wish Mommy good luck before she begins the Shammrock 8K.

Daddy tries to find Mommy in the crowd as the race begins.

Sophia and Gianni wait for Mommy to finish the race.

Where is Mommy?

Lots of runners, but no Mommy.

I am going to surprise Mommy when she runs by...

Me too!

Finally, Mommy finishes the race!

A few weekends later, we decide to make the race a family event.

Sophia and Gianni pin on their race numbers.

 

Sophia takes a picture of Daddy and Mommy after they finish their 5K.

 

Now, it is time for the kids to run their 26.2 yard dash.

 

We are all done for the day and resting with Daddy.
