Is it really JUNE?

I can't believe June starts tomorrow, where did May go? To be honest, the month of May was usurped by the 48-Hour Film Project shenanigans. We filmed the movie the first weekend of May, then we had our first screening the following week and after a nail-biting 10 days, found out that this year's film "High as a Kite" made it to the "Best of DC" round of competition.

The 48hfp committee doesn't post official rankings so we don't know exactly where we placed, but we were in the bottom half of the "Best of DC" group, which is compiled of the top 24 films out of 105 team entries. We weren't sure we'd make it this year, so we're just happy to say that we did!

Next year, we've all agreed to remove all naked men from our film. We're going to attempt a mature film concept, and bust into the top half of that "Best of DC" contention.

But enough about the film. Isabelle has been busy this month. Potty training is going pretty well. We're not pushing it, but she is taking control and doing really well.

She has learned the entire "Our Father" prayer now and recites it every night at bedtime. We'll tackle the "Hail Mary" next. She should be more than ready for Catholic School in a few years!

Summer has arrived in full force. The baby pool debuted this week and we're getting ready to purchase a "big" pool this month. We went to the neighbors pool yesterday and she was swimming away, glad to see she hasn't lost her swim school lessons.

We're considering some gymnastic classes this summer, there is a good program through our local rec center that has classes on Wednesday nights, just like swim class was. It was a great way to break up the week with something constructive. The jury is still out.

Other than that, our summer is already getting booked up with parties and playdates and other fun activities. Daddy turns 40 this summer! So we've started to plan his Luau party for July 24th at our community beach. Anyone know a hula dancer we can invite?

Happy Summer, everyone, even if it doesn't technically start for another 3 weeks.

  1. Gee-Ga is sooo proud of you, Izzi. Good job with the potty training. I hope you got the card I sent.
    Sounds like gymnastics might be fun, and if you go I know you'll be great.
    Happy Memorial Day.
