Jacob Starts Baseball -

Well baseball season is well underway. Jacob participated in the parade for opening day this past Saturday but unfortunately the afternoon game (his first game of the season) was cancelled due to the rain. George did manage to get a portrait of him in his new uniform and his team name is the "Cardinals.  Jacob is very excited about playing this year and he said he is on a very good team. I believe he said he is going to have some opportunities to pitch and play first base - I look forward to the games. He has been playing for the past 4 years and really enjoys it and I am so very proud of all that he accomplishes, I really am.

Gracie - Recital Picture Day -

 

I think she is so beautiful, I really do. This past Saturday all the dancers had their portraits taken in their recital costumes. What time slot did we fall under? The 8:30 a.m. timeslot! I made sure we got up extra early so she would look well-rested for her portraits.  I did her hair and makeup the best I could but the day of the recital (in June) I am going to take her to have her hair and makeup done by a stylist. I really don't think she needs makeup at all but have been told that this is the norm for dancers - which I know nothing about because I never participated in dance when I was younger. When I first saw the costumes I was so happy I think I had tears in my eyes - after having two boys I am so grateful to have a little girl I can spoil and do girly stuff with - and believe me....she is all girl - thank god she did not end up being a tom boy like I thought she would be because she had two older brothers - she is truly a blessing.
