Ballet Recital

Sophie LOVES ballet! She loves to dance, the teacher, the ballet outfit and her friends! Tuesday morning's can't come fast enough for her! She starts up again with ballet and tap in January and can't wait for class to begin!
Aubrey clearly not interested in Sophie's ballet class but loves to see herself in the mirror!

Halloween Parade

Today was the Halloween Parade at Sophie's pre-school. Sophie has been talking about dressing up as Snow White and going to preschool for the parade and party for weeks!

Poor Soph started to cry once her class had to go around in the circle for the parade. I think having so many people watching her made her a little scared!
Sophie's friend Paige was Tinkerbell.

She's walking!

And.....we have a walker (ok, maybe more like a stepper...)

Photography 101

I started a photography class last week so I could finally learn how to use my "fancy" digital camera. And if I thought I didn't know how to operate my camera prior to the first class, I've learned that there is so much more to learn about my camera than I imagined.... its a good thing this is a 10 week beginners class!

For my first assignment I was told to bring in two of my best photos that I took last week. Below are my two submissions, my subjects being of course my two babies!The instructor looked at this photo and told me he couldn't decide if this was a really great photo or a really bad photo. Real helpful, right? I've decided to go with the "really great photo" judgment.
This photo was deemed a gorgeous photo!

So now onto next week where the assignment is a bit more detailed then "bringing in two of my best photos".

She's cute, she's sweet, completely loveable....and she's 1!

Where did the last 12 months go?? It seemed like it was just yesterday that we put our little Aubrey in her car seat and brought her home from the hosptial. Now she's in a big girl car seat and about to walk!

Aubrey really is such a sweet little girl who brings us so much joy every day. Sophie LOVES Aubrey and Aubrey can't get enough of Sophie....follows her all over the house!

A few of Aub's stats:

And............We have a Pre-Schooler!

Sophie was SO excited to go to pre-school. The first thing she told her teacher was, "I brought my backpack and my lunchbox."

I can't believe she is old enough to go to pre-school.......where has the time gone????

Hide and Seek

She's 3!

I can hardly believe Sophie is 3! Where has the time gone? Sophie wanted a princess birthday party....so princesses we had! All her little friends showed up in full princess attire for a morning of princess fun.

Best Friends

Sophie and Aubrey love to play with each other. I love to watch them play...many smiles and many giggles can be seen and heard when they are together...absolutely precious!

More catching up......July

Finally a beach day!
