A pizza and a harmonica

I actually made a homemade pizza for dinner tonight. It was so yummy with spinach pasta sauce, our first home grown squash, Canadian bacon and an Italian cheese blend. Not one bite left!


And my little harmonica player. She finally got her hands on one since her sisters have been missing. She is pretty good, too!


Day 2

The girls are LOVING ballet camp! Each day when I pick them up I ask what their favorite part was. Here are today's answers:

Allia: Tumbling, especially cartwheels, and playing dress up

Mariana: Playing dress up

(They play dress up for the last 20 minutes or so of the class. Mariana strips everything but her panties off, so she is usually in only her leotard when it is time to go home! She is an all-or-nothing kind of girl!)

Ballet Camp

This is what we are up to this week.

Getting ready...they were so excited!


Meeting some friends in the parking lot. Claire (far right) is slightly too young to attend, but she dressed up for the fun anyway!


Afterwards


They had a great time, but they were sure exhausted!
And Gloria missed her sisters. She kept walking around the house calling their names this morning!

Long lost friends

We had the tremendous blessing of spontaneously meeting up with some dear friends this weekend who have moved away and were in town visiting for a couple of days. They were so sweet to share their Sunday afternoon with us. We love you and miss you H family!!!

Our picnic lunch


I was SO sad I forgot my camera at the pool. Everyone had such a great time, especially Allia and Grace (who is 2 months older than her). They were such buddies jumping in holding hands and swimming around together. So sweet!


The whole gang (minus the H family's 2 youngest who stayed with their grandparents for the weekend...Gloria will have to meet her size friends next time!)


Zip girl...Grace had fun on the zip line!


A budding musician?


And a happy swimmer. This girl loves the water now!


The End

Reader Girl


This is what Allia does during quiet time these days...and any other time she has a few minutes of quiet or nothing else to do. She is reading the Little House series and blowing through it!!! I just finished reading it to her a few months ago! She amazes me!
