Reese

Reese has had some ups and downs this winter....

 Her most favorite event of the whole year (not including gift-giving holidays such as Christmas & B-day) is without a doubt the Daddy-Daughter dance.  She LOVES to go to with her Daddy and dance the night away.

 She had some pretty intense pain in her knee that the doctor suspected may be bacterial arthritis.  He sent us to the E.R. where the doctor and nurse were waiting for us in the waiting room.  They immediately took blood, shortly followed by x-ray and ultrasound.  It turned out to be a ruptured Baker's Cyst in her knee.  They are very painful, but not dangerous and they heal on their own.  Poor thing.  That was something like her 10th stay in the hospital.  

 She is ridiculously excited for soccer to start next week.  She has all her gear and asks almost daily how many more days until she has practice.  We're hoping the excitement lasts past the first practice!  

 She has been taking ballet & tap classes and loving it.  She's very flexible, strong & graceful.  

 Her preschool took a trip to the recycling center and she got to sit in a garbage truck!

We took a hike in Riverside State Park to enjoy the beautiful spring!  

And now she's 5!!!
