Hazel/Charlotte

These are some of my favorites from when Hazel was about 2 weeks--taken by Jill, my super awesome photographer friend. If you haven't checked her out yet, you're totally missing out.

Have you seen this yet??

I'm ready to trade in my Odyssey.

Oh yeah...

it was Char's third birthday almost a month ago! Story of my life. I feel like everything's slipping through the cracks. I could not wait for summer to hit just so things could slow down. Wishful thinking.

My attempt at a recap (in reverse order since I'm too lazy to fix it!)...


Sadly, I only managed one lousy picture of Char's birthday. We had family over for dinner, presents and cake. Charlotte, in all her three year old glory, rules the roost around here. All it takes is one look from those huge, puppy dog eyes of hers and you're in trouble.


Right after school let out we headed up to Haigler where Mom just finished her new home! It was gorgeous and of course very nice to get out of the heat.






The kids did great on their recitals. Char was hilarious trying to play her fingers (which she doesn't know how to do yet). Everyone kept laughing which just fueled the fire.






Ellie had several little friends in dance class with her. The girls were darling and Ellie loved her "hound-dog" skirt (danced to 'You Ain't Nothing but a Hound Dog').



So that's it for now. I'm hoping the rest of this summer can just chill a bit!
