Always Busy

We had such a fun & busy weekend! Kylie May had her dance recital & it was Bryan's birthday! I was super busy with making a video for her recital as well as setting up to record it. Thursday night set up, Friday night rehearsal, recital & b-day party on Saturday.

I was so proud of Kylie. Compared to her recital in December, she was so focused. Concentrating so much that her tongue was sticking out for parts of the dance.  Grandmas, aunties & cousins came to watch. After the recital & desserts, we had a cook-out at our house for Bryan's b-day. The kids had fun playing outside in our big yard. They're all old enough that we can just sit around & watch them play. It's great!

I took yesterday afternoon of & spent some quality time with Kylie. When I work all day or too many days in a row, I forget how awesome she is. I'm at the end of my rope by the time I get home & I'm not patient like I should be. But yesterday, I got home at noon and played with her all day. She is getting so old. She knows what she wants and is very independent. It's so enjoyable to just watch her. I love her imagination & flexibility. I am grateful for this time, that I'm able to spend with her & focus just on her. No other distractions. Although, someday, I hope she can help me with a little one.

Kylie still mentions Layla every few days. I don't remember the exact context, but we were talking about a friend and her sisters/brothers. Kylie added, "we have a sister but we need to have another one to stay at our house".

Someday.

Here's a picture of her dancing next to her bestie :)

and the video I made for the recital (one of my most favorite projects to date)
