A second spring dance recital

This beautiful little love had her last spring dance recital last night.
And honestly, watching her dance made me smile so big, for so long, my face
ached a little after. She is an absolutely amazing dancer and just loves it so much.

And then to have so many come and support her--her grandparents, Annie, Matt and Edie,
Nate and her darling friend, Daniel. And her sweet Dad of course. It meant so much
to Grace. And to me. That much love and support is something else to witness.

It was a happy night. I feel so thankful for it.

And finally, a few photos I took of her on Tuesday night during her rehearsal.

Oh, this Gracie girl is just goodness and light for sure.

AP tests and one incredible boy

This amazing stud finished his AP Human Geography test earlier today. And I immediately
checked him out of school, in order to give his brain a break and mostly, so I could tell him
in person how incredible he is and how proud we are of how hard he has chosen to work
this entire school year. He's something else. Love him and his darling self something fierce.

Our Spain and Switzerland trip ~ Day 7

Our last and seventh day of our trip was spent eating the best pastries in all of forever, driving
around Lake Brienz and wondering how water could actually be that color and obsessively
thinking about the incredible pastries we had eaten earlier that morning. It couldn't have been
a better ending to an absolutely amazing vacation. I'm so thankful for every second of it.

Our Spain and Switzerland trip ~ Day 6

Our sixth day of the trip was spent driving around Lauterbrunnen and Grindelwald, the most
fairytale-like Swiss villages on the planet. Oh, and paragliding off the Alps. As one does.
