A 6:30 a.m. knock on the door!

By 6:30 a.m. most mornings the three kids are dressed and ready for the day and we are sitting at the table eating breakfast together. Friday morning we got a slow start so Pete and Molly were dressed, Annie still in pajamas and Bob and I somewhere in between. Okay - truth be told, Bob was in his underwear! We were shocked to hear a knock on the door and as Bob scurried to our bedroom to get dressed Auntie Beth emerged through the front door with donuts! Yeah Auntie Beth! The kids were thrilled to see her especially since visitors before 7 a.m. are unheard of and the donuts were icing on the cake - literally!

Annie enjoying her chocolate covered donut!

Auntie Beth saying "Good Morning" to the school bound big kids!

Molly had her parent observation for Irish Step Dancing class on Friday night. We snuck in in time to see a little bit of Abby's class and then Grammy, Papa, Auntie Beth and the Harding - Wheeler family showed up in force to see what Molly's class has learned so far. Both Abby and Molly dance with huge smiles on their faces so they are clearly having some fun and both of them, if I do say so myself, are gifted at picking up the steps and staying on beat and on the correct foot! Molly even keeps her hands straight down, fingers in and back straight now - too cute!

I couldn't in to get good pictures of Abby but I did get to watch her a bit and she did great and looks adorable in her bright pink leotard! My goddaughter has a spirit that makes her stand out in a crowd - that's for sure!

Abby and Molly greeting each other after Abby's class - I hope they always are this excited to see each other - I love the screams from across the room when they see each other!

Our tiny dancers!

Stretches!

Molly girl dancing her little heart out - she kept looking over at us to make sure that everyone was paying attention!

Holding your skirt is NOT part fo the dance technique but a Molly girl thing!

Auntie Beth got to get up and dance with Molly!

Gallops!

I forget the name of this one but Molly does it wherever she is - hop, skip something - she does it at school, playing out in the yard - all the time!

Peter even gave it a try!

Molly with Molly Garrahey - turning to check and make sure that Auntie Beth is doing okay!

Saturday was a low key day - BOb took the kids to the grand opening of It's Only Natural in Middletown giving me sometime to fold tiny little baby clothes and pack our bags for the hospital. I also made the grocery list for next week and the list for Walmary essentials.

The next post will likely be announcing Lizzie's arrival so stay tuned!

GNM - ILY!
