Ok, so I’m catching up on updating the website. Aunt Lora was in town for a little over a week towards the end of May. We had a few great visits at Aunt Eve’s house. That’s where the great swimming pictures are from. We had some great food and were able to spend some quality time with family at Aunt Eve’s. On Memorial Day, we took a trip up to Milwaukee and saw the Cardinals take on the Brewers. It was a ton of fun spending the day with Team Saip, Mom, Aunt Lori and Uncle Joe, Julie, John and Jill, The Elliott’s, and the Schohl’s. The Cardinals ended up losing 1-0 in the 10th.

On 5/30, Ella had her first dance recital and boy did she put on a show. Her group was on second and a few seconds into the song, Ella started peaking out into the crowd. During rehearsal, Ella was really excited that she spotted Mommy in the crowd. So, when she got out there during the dance she was trying to find Mommy in the same seat as the night before. In no time, Ella became a crowd sensation standing on stage trying to find Mommy and waving instead of dancing. She even tried to pull down her glasses to see if she could spot Mommy quicker. Ella did end up spotting Grandpa Zahn who was seated a few rows back from where Mommy was the night before. I also made my dancing debut with Ella later in the show. It was a great moment to share with Ella!

Ella started to take horse back riding lessons with Aunt Eve as well. For the summer, she will be in dance and have horse back riding lessons on Monday. We are going to have the kids in a lot of activities and it’s starting now! They are growing up way too quick. I’m going to try and update the site more frequently. Check back soon!
