Bret pulled over on the side of the road so I could take a picture of this the other night. It's the full moon over the Weyerhaeuser plant in Springfield. Used a new photo editing program I found online to make it the the subtle colors and shadows pop and it turned out so pretty I had to share.
It's still hard for me to believe that my baby girl is in 3rd grade already! She attends a GREAT school and I am SO proud of how well she is doing. The class work they are performing already is mind-blowing - fractions, percentages, long division, complex multiplication, complicated spelling words, and so much more!
Then there is the fun side of attending a Magna Arts school...afternoon electives and their yearly play. And, this is no small-fry school play. Corridor's play is put on at the Hult Center here in Eugene every year. (I was in a play for Corridor when I attended in 4th grade and it was put on in the same way, in the same theater. It's a real tradition!) It's only open to 3rd, 4th, and 5th graders so this was her first year, and let me tell you...she did AMAZING!!
For those who don't know, Lynsey is not big on being the center of attention for large groups of people...especially when she doesn't know some of them. Well, she was front and center for a few parts of her play and she rocked it out! The play was Rockin' Around the Clock and chronicled the different music eras (50's, 60's, 70's, etc.) Lynsey's class did the 70's so she got to dress up in a cute, psychedelic dress and beautiful white go-go boots. (Oh, and I can't forget the peace sign necklace.) And, they did an assist on a Michael Jackson song tribute. They sang several songs, danced, and even recited some lines (in small groups). She did SO awesome! I even had other mothers who know how shy she can be come up and tell how impressed they were with how well Lynsey Jo did. Made this already-so-so-proud mama giddy!
I wasn't able to get too many good shots of her up on stage, but I got what I could and wanted to share. She really was a little star up on that stage! Almost brought tears to my eyes to see her pushing herself beyond what she was comfortable with and doing so wonderful at it!
Here are some pictures that Lynsey Jo and I created the other day using a new picture editing program I found online. (It was Grandma Anderson's birthday and with her being out of town for so long Lynsey Jo wanted to do something special for her.) We had a BLAST doing them so we wanted to share them with everyone! (Lynsey did most of the designing. What a great creative side she has to her, huh?) I'm sure we'll create many more pictures and will make sure to share them all. Hope you enjoy these ones as much as we did! Stay tuned for more... Love and hugs to all!
