I love this one! Twin love!
Our gorgeous Irish Dancer is ready to go after two weeks of being sick! Miss Maybeth greeted her with a huge hug and everyone kept telling her how much they missed her!
"Okay, mom, I'm ready to go!"
Molly came to Annie's dance class to watch. When we walked in the door I lost track of Molly for a minute and found her wrapped up in Miss Marybeth's arms. They chatted for a while and Molly came over beaming. This has been a hard year in Irish for Molly because she is in competition classes at Dance 10 with Miss Deidra and Miss Keira so she doesn't see Miss Marybeth! Every week she talks about how much she misses her so it was nice that Miss Marybeth took so much time to talk with Molly and check on her classes! Just another reason that we LOVE Griffith Academy- every single teacher is warm and loving with our kids - caring as much for them personally as they do for their dancing skills!
First night in footie pajamas thanks to Auntie Ann and Sister Anne who supplied the kids with the fuzziest pajamas ever!
What could be more fun than a Sunday morning art project? For Lizzie a naked Sunday morning art project!
Finger painting fun!
The mess in the wake of the painting project!
Molly had a double header on Saturday and lots of her adoring fans showed up to watch. Nothing is better than having your Dad and auntie as your coaches though!
Lila - looking gorgeous in her pink coat and ready to cheer for Molly-girl!
Ellie had a cold but was ready to have some fun!
My favorite Lila look!
We joked that Auntie Beth came all the way from California to see molly's soccer game! Hey - you laugh, but she did it for Molly and Annie's dance recital!
These are out of order for some reason but Auntie Beth came to dance with us to watch Annie!
Big kisses for her auntie!
Lizzie and Lila hanging with papa!
Guess which color lollipop Annie had?
More hugs for Auntie Beth! We were so lucky that there were no events or parties to go to so we just got pure bonding time with Auntie Beth!
Molly and Lila
Kk is always loving on her godson! He said that he would play soccer but only if KK was his coach! She must be a really great coach!
In between the double header I got a quick picture of Molly with her coaches and fans! What a lucky girl she is!
Love this picture of the coaches consulting!
I was trying to get a picture of Annie in her I love Paris shirt which she wore in honor of her sleepover with Kk that night! I think its cute that Annie recognizes the word Paris and thei Eiffel tower and wants to buy anything with it for KK!
Cleaning the chocolate pudding bowl! These girls will do anything for chocolate!
Auntie Beth must have read this book to the girls 15 times - she was very patient!
Auntie and her girls! Reading the book - AGAIN!
Molly took this one of Kk later in the evening and yes, she is reading the same book as Auntie Beth was!
These pictures serve to remind me of how very lucky my kids are to have so many supportive family members who love them! We had an issue on the bus a few weeks ago and were reminded about just how amazing our school community and family can be when the kids need support. We have since decided to eliminate what had turned in to a very negative environment on the bus and drive the big kids to school with Annie and once again we were reminded of how God works in our lives. Peter and Molly are chatty and excited after school giving them time to bond with each other and Bob and I. Annie loves to listen and feel like one of the big kids and family and friends have offered to drive the kids anytime we need them to. The big kids now go to Mrs. Carrero's room after school to wait for Bob or I and so they get to interact with Annie and her classmates and get the added benefit of Mrs. Carrero's kindness and affection on a daily basis! It is sometimes hard to believe the blessings that just keep coming our way!
Auntie Beth left this week with the promise of returning for 2 weeks in just 61 days! You know what that means? That Annie now LOVES the number 61 and does not realize that it should change each day! We need to get a countdown up!
GNM - ILY!
