Gymnastics

So we finally got a new camcorder! Here is Alyssa on the balance beam and Jasmine on the uneven bars (and no, Jasmine shouldn't be hooking her right arm over the bar to get up, but it's a start!). Alyssa definitely wants to continue with gymnastics next year, and Jasmine hasn't quite made up her mind yet, but I'm pretty sure she'll continue as well.

Graduation Day 2010-Joceline

So our first-born is all done with Elementary School! Her years at GES earned her the President's Academic Achievement Award (which she had to have a 3.5 GPA for 4th, 5th and 6th grade to get). Here she is right off the stage after getting that award.

And here I am trying not to cry!

John did a much better job hiding his emotions, although he told me later he almost broke down at this point!

This was right before the ceremony started...such a pretty girl and we couldn't be prouder of how well she did and who she is becoming.

New York City!!

So I was a chaperone on Joceline's 6th grade class trip to New York City.

Here are the flags (in alphabetical order) outside the United Nations.

NBC Studios

From inside the UN, here is a display on landmines which are now banned in most countries.

Here is one of the display windows outside NBC Studios showing tribute to Saturday Night Live.

And here is my girl..

A shot of an interesting statue...

The Coneheads from SNL...

Brianna, Joceline & Lucy

Out for a ride...

Now that Jasmine has mastered turning on her bike, one of the girls favorite things to do after school is ride, ride, ride!

Piano Recital

Once again, the girls performed beautifully at their piano recital at Aunt Polly's house.

Here is Jasmine..

And here's Joceline...

And finally Alyssa.

Keep up the good work, girls!!

6th Grade Music Program

On May 12th was the 6th Grade Music Program, and Joceline had a solo. Here are some shots.

Daddy & Alyssa...

Joceline is the slightly fuzzy one on the right (not the one with pink in her hair). Her solo was from the song, Dig a Little Deeper, from Disney's recent movie, The Princess & The Frog.

Here is Joceline with the choir...Alyssa took this one!

And here is the entire 6th grade choir. They did an awesome show!

Braces for Joceline

So this week has been a busy one. Both Joceline & Jasmine need braces. Joceline got started first, so here she is so far. She will be getting an expander put in since her mouth isn't quite big enough for her adult canine teeth to come in. She picked red & green brackets...like a Christmas tree in her mouth! Jasmine will most likely get hers started next week...stay tuned!
