Wow!

I haven't posted here since May.  Of 2010.  

The girls had just turned 4.  In a month (minus 2 days) they will be 5.  As cliché as it sounds... where did the time go?

I need to make a dedicated effort to keep posting.  And I will.  But not tonight.  Tonight I need to figure out where the heck the last 11 months went.

Indoor Snow

The freezer needed defrosting so David started emptying it after dinner. The girls wanted to help so David decided to make indoor snow.

(Amazing how happy 2 kettles & a whole lot of freezer frost can make a couple of 4 year olds:

Who Needs A Camera?

Sunday afternoon was spent at Splash Lagoon in Erie for our nephew's birthday party. The girls had a blast.

I had hoped to post some of the pictures I took, but many of them turned out either dark, fuzzy or both.

Fortunately, on our way home David asked the girls to draw what they did that day on their little travel Magna Doodles. Taylor was more than happy to comply. I managed to steal the magna doodle and snap a pic with David cell phone before she erased it:




Because 65mph down the thruway using a camera phone doesn't take the clearest of pictures, I've added another image that shows what Taylor drew below.




Personally, I wish I could draw this well on paper sitting at table, much on a magna doodle in a moving vehicle. :)

Fleeting Summer Days

A quick look at the calendar shows just a few precious summer days left before fall is officially here. Its been a rainy, cool summer here. It feels a bit like we were shorted somehow, like summer never really got here until the end of August.

But, we did get in some fun 'summer' stuff like heading to the zoo, splashing the kidde pool, 2 rendezvous encampments (although I'm still not convinced that being ankle deep in mud while camping is fun - but according to the girls its a riot) and just hanging out.

The girls took a tumbling class over the summer and loved it so much that they are enrolled in the fall semester as well. Taylor has done especially well - her confidence has grown and she has really taken to it.

Reception Rehearsal

The girls are going to be flower girls in Chris & Jen's wedding in June. Tonight we tried on their dresses and this is what happened:



I don't know about the wedding ceremony, but I think they're ready for the reception. :)

Gator Invasion

The girls got Gators for their birthday.

Its Got A Good Beat And We Can Dance To It

Its been a while since I've posted. Two-A-Day rehearsals and the commute to and from 'the Pole' has taken up most of our free time. But its all worth it in the end.
