A Little Summertime Part I

I'm going to have to post in parts, there is just too much fun to cover! We had a great summer and here are some of the pix to prove it. xoxo-Steph

A Happy Little Birthday

"Happy Birthday, dear Clara."

Got candy?!?

Can't open it fast enough.

At last, the loot.

The mighty Holden gets the job done.

Jake takes candy very seriously.

Nan wouldn't hurt a pig.

Sweet Ainsley's turn.

Watch out, she is two!

Here piggy, piggy.

Finally figuring out this wrapping paper stuff.

Queen Clara

What fun we had celebrating our Clara's second birthday. Can you believe she is 2?!? We can't. She loved all the attention, the cake, and the tissue paper. Thanks to all those who sent such fun and generous gifts. She is just in present heaven. She got her ears pierced last week and has graduated from speech therapy. She is talking & singing like crazy. Not all her words are clear, but I will miss her jibber-jabber soon enough. She is trying to dance like her sisters now, but can't get her feet off the floor. She is a dear- except for when she gets into Mom's make-up and when I catch her she smiles & looks out of the corner of her eye and then drops it and runs like crazy. She is definitely two. Her new favorite phrase is, "No way!" We'll post more soon.

A Little Soccer Celebration

Let's get this party started!

Lu did her own hair!

The happy Little players.

Coach Little passing out the medals.

Flaming Ketchup rules!!!!

Jake and Hannah had a blast during their first season of soccer. Jake really took to the game and by the end was scoring goals like crazy and taking balls to the head & chest. Like father, like son. Richard was a great coach and the kids loved him. The kids named the team "Flaming Ketchup" and they all got along really well as you can see. I still can't believe I am a soccer mom. More pix coming soon- Steph

Little Ballerinas

So excited for her first recital.

Her own pose.


Beautiful Nan

Ready and waiting...

Our Little Ballerinas

Some of us watched the show.

Nan in position.

Well done girls!

Lucy and Hannah were darling little dancers at their first recital together. Lucy was in it for the flowers, and the second her music stopped she popped up from her "sleeping fairy" position and ran over to ask, "Can I get my flowers now?" Hannah was amazing, on her toes the whole time and so fun to watch. We are so proud of our little ballerinas.

A Little More of the Littles
