Mommy Daughter VSO Date

Posted on Sunday, March 31, 2019 by Laura

Brooke and I went on a date to the Virginia Symphony Orchestra’s American in Paris performance. We had an amazing time! The music was unbelievable as usual and this time the focus was on dance. There were professional dancers in ballroom, lyrical, and a full ballet to Gershwin’s 19 minute An American in Paris. Brooke loved it so much she said she wanted it to start over the minute it stopped! Naturally we went to gelato after the show. It was great to get some one on one time with Brooke.

Hiking and such

With it being the end of winter and spring just started it is still pretty cold here but we have had a few warmer days and so have been getting a few hikes in. The kids are very excited to be spending more time outdoors!

Cheer Up Brooke

Posted on Tuesday, March 5, 2019 by Laura

Brooke was feeling a little sad this morning which wasn’t like her at all. So I cleared Alex’s and my schedule and decided that we would cheer her up by surprising her at school to have lunch with her and bringing her a toy to play with at indoor recess (since it is so cold they cannot go outside for recess). Alex helped me pick out which toy for her and he got to eat in the cafeteria for the first time with Brooke. She was very happy to see us!
