our dancing princess & scholarly pirate

Yes, it has been ages since I have blogged, but I just couldn't let some of Emma Jane's important "big girl firsts" slip by without being thoroughly documented here on the blog. The month of May was a very busy one for Emma Jane as we attended her first dance recital and 4K graduation.  We weren't sure how she would handle being on stage for either of these big events, but she handled it like a pro and was quite a ham...imagine that!  We are so proud of our precious girl and can't believe how much she has grown in such a short time!  I plan to cherish every moment this summer has to offer before she ventures out into the real world of kindergarten!
