August 29th

August 29th is a wonderful day.  It is Rich's birthday and also my dear Aunt Mayme's birthday in heaven.  We called Rich in the morning at work to sing happy birthday to him.  We also went out to dinner and then came home to open cards and gifts and have some of his cake that Grandma and Grandpa brought him this past weekend. Happy Birthday to my wonderful husband! Happy Birthday to my dear Aunt Mayme...I'll be sure to have some pizza with tomatoes and pepper just for you.

Dance Show

Lately the girls have been dancing ALL THE TIME. They make up dances to different songs, they plan the outfits, they practice and then they perform. It happens nightly and I bet today they did this for 6 hours or so. Here are some pics from today.

First, there was the practicing all day!  Then, they created a program and did hair and make-up.  They even had a dressing room in the corner of our dining room for in between dance wardrobe changes.  So fun!

New Blog

I have a new blog I've just started....a 365 Project.  I will still continue to maintain this blog (although I'm not very good at it lately).  Here is the address:

Vacation

Here are a few pictures from our vacation in the Dominican Republic.  More photography-ish pictures can be found HERE.  We couldn't have asked for a better vacation.  It was truly  perfect!  Thank you Grandma and Grandpa H for taking such wonderful care of the girls and Will.  :)

Because I'm told I never share pics of myself (and because Rich is quite proud of his photography skills), here are 2 pics Rich took of me for my website and Clickin' Moms.  :)

Deanna Rose

Yesterday we went with our good friends to Deanna Rose Farmstead.  It's always fun for the kids to feed the goats, see the cows, feed the fish, etc.

Indoor Camp Out

Friday night we had an indoor camp out.  We used to do these all the time in Cleveland but haven't done one in a while.  It was very fun...and exhausting!  :)

 

The morning after...
