More of our last few months.....

I was going to post a little bit here and there until I was caught up with Spring Activities but then realized that I am now getting a SECOND set of photos and happenings to get caught up with.

So here goes the Spring Marathon......

In March, Pauls mom had her 60th birthday. We headed to the farm for the party but were concerned that we may not get there. That Monday, Seneca ended up with Influenza A. Nothing you can do but wait for the fever to break for a good 24 hours......thankfully, the day before we were to leave, Seneca was feeling better and no sign of a fever.

This is the Hertel March Birthdays: Niece Camry (March 5); Betty (March 6); Paul (March 7)

Seneca had her Kindergarten Spring Concert. She had practiced for days! She sang non-stop around the house and was so excited for her Spring Concert. The Kindergarteners were asked to wear gardening and spring clothes. All their songs were around gardening and spring. She did wonderful and you could tell that she knew her stuff.

Easter was a rainy, cold day. After church we headed to the Governors Mansion for the Annual Easter Egg hunt. Thinking that there wouldn't be as many people due to the cold and rain, much to our amazement, we were wrong. Once again, there were hundreds of kids, ready to get the candy, eggs (with prizes) snatched up from the Governors lawn!! Seneca did well as usual and got plenty of loot!!

This was Senecas 3rd year in dance. She always struggles mid-year of not wanting to be in dance and then the recital arrives and we can't wait until Fall again for dance. She did wonderful, as usual, and enjoys looking like a princess!!

The end of April, Seneca finished her first year of Awana at church. It is a wonderful program that kids are able to due memory verses from the Bible and they receive "jewels" for their vests throughout the year and at the end of the year they have an awards program. Seneca received a ribbon for completing her first book of the year. She made it 1/2 way through her second book so she will complete that one next year and go from there.
