2009 in Review (2nd Quarter)
In April, we saw Flight of the Concords, celebrated Easter,
enjoyed Joshua's Spring program,
and mourned a miscarriage.
In May, the schools closed due to swine flu, so we went to see the Weeki Wachee Mermaids at Ripley's Aquarium of the Smokies.
We also did the usual Gatlinburg activities- playing putt-putt,
"Baby Beluga, meet the candy man."
Michael furthered Charlotte's horse obsession.
Charlotte also had a painting in the school system art show
and performed in two dance numbers at her recital.
Her ballet number was to Cello Suite #1, while the jazz one was to Diamonds are a Girl's Best Friend.
Michael turned another year older.

2009 in Review (First Quarter)
In January, Joshua had his Cars birthday party, complete with about 20 preschoolers and their parents at our house. (When we throw a party, we go all out.)
We set up spots for Legos, Hot Wheels, Little People, cars, and trains. Everyone also got to make race cars, using Rice Krispie treats, icing, cookies, and various candies. We saved the pinata for the end, and the weather was nice enough that everyone played in the backyard until it was time to go.
In February, Charlotte joined other Scouts from her school in presenting the flag and leading the pledge for the PTA.
We also introduced the kids to the circus, where Joshua decided he'll pursue a career which involves jumping through flaming hoops.
In March, we ended up in the ER when Joshua poked a hole in the back of mouth while jumping on the bed.
He recovered in time to show us his skills at The Little Gym.
