Kiddie Hawk Graduates from Preschool
Sniffle, Sniffle, Sniffle...[wiping tears]
Last year Bill & I were slightly torn about whether or not to send Gracie to kindergarten. She's a November birthday & she legally could have started last fall. We went with our gut which told us to wait. We are SO happy we did. She's really grown up this year socially & academically and is so excited for Kindergarten next year. I hope this enthusiasm keeps up until fall. Only time will tell.
Here's her preschool graduation picture:

hawks dancing....
bill & i went to the girl's 1st ballet/tap recital today. i felt so silly, but i was extremely nervous for my two little loves - nora jane for her unwavering confidence (that can sometimes get her into trouble) and gracie for her fear of people looking at her (especially people she doesn't know).
gracie looked an unusually lighter shade of white in the AM and kept asking me if there were going to be a lot of people there. i thought she might throw up. nora jane was fired up the minute she woke up.
we made it to the ballet studio and i was feeling a bit better until i discovered that half of their ballet class was missing. they didn't realize the recital was an hour before the usual class (weird because even i got the memo on this one). i whispered to daddy hawk that "the dance ringers" weren't there and i think we might have a problem. he gave me a look that said "you're joking, right?" and realized i wasn't. he's said they'd be fine with a look that said "you're nuts".
daddy hawk is always right, they did wonderful and we have video to prove it. i'm so proud of my little hawks.

special thanks to daddy hawk for responding to momma hawk's order to get up in the front & film our babies no matter who's in the way.

It means Gooder...
Gracie: I think this game is gooder than that one over there.
Mommy: Sweetie, you are supposed to say 'I think this game is better than that one over there'.
Gracie: What does better mean?
Mommy: Um. Well. It means gooder.
Gracie: Ohhhhhhhhhhh.
