Isn't She Lovely? Gracie Turns 4

Our little princess turned four years old on June 2nd. It's hard to believe that my little red head, blue-eyed baby girl will be starting school next year. Time has gone by so fast. We had a Dora birthday party for her at our home along with family and friends. I put a lot of work into the party, because I wanted to make this day very special for my Gracie. We ate lots of pizza and cake, played party games which included a treasure hunt and the bashing of a Dora pinata and the finale was a nice water fight outside with the adults and kids. All in all, I believe everyone had a good time!

Family Pictures - Mother's Day 2008

I am fortunate that my husband pretty much does anything for me on my birthday and Mother's Day so this year I decided to take advantage of his kindness and requested that we have our family portraits taken on Mother's Day. Well...me and everyone else decided to have their family portraits taken on Mother's Day. Needlesstosay, the photographer loves mom's like me - I was all about take the snapshots and lets me done with it. We were in and out of our session in 10 minutes. You have to be fast with three kids and an impatient husband. Afterwards I went to Anne Taylor and bought a few shirts. All in all, it was a very nice Mother's Day.

Gracie's Attends Kinderdance

I have been wanting Gracie to take dance classes for the longest time. I tried ballet classes about 8 months ago and she refused to particate, I suppose she was just not ready. This spring I signed her up for kinderdance at Central Pennsylvania School of Ballet and she absolutely loved it. I had so much fun getting her ready for he dance classes with her little outfits, putting her hair up and lets not forget the ballet shoes that would not stay on her feet. Watching her learn and interact with her teacher and other students was something I will always cherish.
