Date Night with Marmee

Marmee took Angelica to a ballet recital a couple weeks ago. Aunt Alli was singing a couple songs at it, which I need to post as well! Angelica has grown up going to shows and LOVES it. She got to wear a new dress Marmee got her for her birthday...insisted on wearing her pearl necklace and bracelet and having a purse. (I realized we need to get her a dress purse.) It was so cute she wanted to put money, chapstick and tissues in it and she did!! She was so excited and had a FABULOUS time and now wants to do ballet even more!! Thanks mom, she had a great night!

Hummingbird Watchers

My mom has a hummingbird feeder on her back deck and the kids LOVE it (almost as much as she does!). Emma and Albert especially are quite the bird lovers. But you have to watch the VIDEO below because Marmee thought it would be fun to give the wee ones a spin in the chair....well it usually is a lot of fun, but not this time!!

Hummingbirds where are you?

And they found them!

Emma's first hair cut!

Last month Emma was given her first hair cut...thanks to Marmee!! I had been debating cutting her hair for a while. Her hair has taken forever to grow and she has some beautiful wavy curls at the ends of it. I was a bit nervous as she doesn't sit still very well and I didn't want to ruin the curls (although I have now learned that cutting hair with curls is easier because it hides mistakes!). Anyways...we had an impromptu hair cutting experience after a bath at Marmee's and at least got the ends trimmed up. Thank you Marmee!!

Memories at Marmee's

When we first brought Michaela home...those first two weeks were really tough. My mom took the big girls several times for the day....the girls had a blast at Marmee's house...having all kinds of adventures outside and being silly inside!! I am so blessed to have a mom that can and wants to help out (they are over there again today!) and my girls are so blessed to be making so many memories with their Marmee (and man they missed her when she was in NYC!!) Enjoy!

Loves Leaves

My mom took the girls for a walk yesterday. One of their favorite things to do is look for and find leaves. Angelica loves to play outside and climb trees and use her imagination. Mom got quite a few BEAUTIFUL pictures of her outside yesterday and these are some of my favorites!! My mom has been braiding her hair...and I truly need to learn how to do it!!

Fun at Marmee's

These are pics my mom sent me from when she watched the girls the other day...they had way too much fun!! (glad someone's camera works...yes I am complaining and whining!)
