2nd Grade Music Program at GES

Last night was Alyssa & Jasmine's 2nd grade music program at school.

Here is Jasmine performing her solo from the song, "Do Re Mi", from the Sound of Music.

Here is Jasmine's class on the stage...she is 3rd from left on the front row.

Alyssa had a duet with one of her best friends, Jessica. They composed their own song for the No Place for Hate pledge.

Here is the entire 2nd grade. Jasmine's class is on the left side of the stage, and Alyssa's is on the right side. The middle group are the other two 2nd grade classes.

Fishing with Gran

While in Cincinnati visiting my mom, we did some fishing in the pond at the front of the complex where she lives.

My gorgeous girl, Joceline.

Always ready to pose on command, Alyssa, the beautiful.

The sign for the fitness center (and pool), which Gran has yet to check out...maybe soon! Part of the appeal of this complex to my mom was the campground-like signs and woods.

The pond is home to a pair of geese. The momma goose is sitting on an egg or two.

Joceline...crazy brain!

Silly girls!

The pro showing them how it's done!!

Just about ready...

Joceline was the only one to catch a fish that day...a small sunny!

Ready to cast!

Visit to Cincinnati

For Easter this year, we went to Cincinnati to visit my mom. One of the things we did was go to the Newport Aquarium just over the border in KY.

2 large sludge suckers...the left one was there first, and then the right one joined in. Right after I took this shot, they both moved away.

It was one of the shark's birthday while we were there...her name is Sweet Pea. The girls got to make hats to celebrate.

Shark!!

Jellies!

Here are some of the birds in the rainforest exhibit.

All of us outside...the area is called Newport on the Levee. John is in his new Reds shirt!
