The Steeler Ant

Gracie had to do a class project and list the various different parts of an insect so she chose to create an "ant" and of course it had to have something to do with black and yellow being the Pennsylvanians that we all are. It was originally going to be called The Pittsburgh Steelers Ant" but since black and yellow (or gold) are the Pirates/Penguins colors....she opted to go with The Steeler Ant to represent all the Pittsburgh teams.  A special thanks to "daddy" who helped her out tremendously with this project - I think he was into the project more then Gracie was...LOL Unfotunately I did not get a picture of the finished product that had all the labels of the various different parts of an insects body. Job well done and she got an A+.

Summer Has Begun....Lake Tobias

The weather here in PA is hot and humid and it seems like you can count on rain at least 3 days a week. This past weekend I took the kids to Lake Tobia where they went on a safari ride and to the petting zoo. We were there for a good two hours and the kids were finally like "can we go home...it's too hot" - They weren't joking...it was miserable. Below are a few pics at the zoo.

Gracie's Dance Portraits (2012)

Below are pics that were taken at The Studio for Gracie's upcoming dance recital in June. I scanned the pics so they are not as clear as they appear in the actual pictures. I wish they would have used a different background with the white costume - white on white just does not look good if you ask me but Gracie still looks cute/adorable and that's all that matters.
