Our little ballerina

Just a few pics of Lil's last dance classes,
then a few more from her recital.



Isn't she lovely?
And,
YES!,
half the fun of a recital
is:
wearing make-up!
She looks so confident!

Here she is fresh off the stage!
It was so cool to have our family there, too --
Auntie Becca, Uncle Ia and Cousin Marleigh
made a special trip out to be there!
Thanks guys!
(And a special thanks to Grampa
who endured a very LONG ballet recital
just to be there for Lily's
five minutes
on stage...
we only heard snoring a couple of times! :o)

Special hugs with Gramma!
Lily was so proud to have her there
and to show her the award she'd received.
You did a beautiful job Lily!







Phinn's 1st Birthday

The family all came together
to celebrate
Phoenix's
1st Birthday
in May.
We had a simple dinner of
lasagna, garlic bread and salad.
It was so good to see
uncles and aunts
from near and far
on this special day. He was fascinated by the balloons.
(and a little overwhelmed by all the company
thus the serious face)
Lily, on the other hand,
fell in love with Great-uncle Richard
and stayed by his side the whole time!
Cake, schmake...everyone else thought it was great!


He was happy to feed cake to Mommy however.

He knew JUST what to do with a toy truck!
Many thanks to Great-Uncle Phil who provided Phinn
with his first gender-NOT-neutral gift! :o)
It was a hit!

Can't believe my baby is a year old!
So happy he is part of our family.




Better late than never
