Another picture for Stephanie

Everyone will appreciate the irony of this dress, although Beca told me one of her teachers does not like it (not entirely sure if the teacher was kidding or not). The nurses , doctors and staff at the ear doctor thought it was very funny. The dress started out well below her knees but the 3+ inch growth over the summer means that it actually just below her knees already.

A close up - the fabric is a david & goliath pattern with the little girl's hands over her ears and it says "Not Listening". Highly appropriate some days.

Fun visit with the Spruill girls

Beca was so excited to go visit the Spruill twins! She worried over Evelyn crying and helped with blankets and was really good. After the girls ate, she got to hold them.
Here's Jessica:
Holding Jessica with Jason making sure they are both good.

Holding Evelyn, with some paci help from Cynthia:

Cuddling Evelyn:

Beca agreed to give some of her old sunglasses to the girls - Evelyn's pretty sure she needs to grow a little to fit into them but she likes being a cool baby!

Pictures (mostly for Stephanie)

Forever ago, I promised Stephanie I would post some pictures of Beca in the dresses that were made for her. So, here they finally are - Stephanie's sewing work, which will conveniently be passed down to Emily!




And a few others of Beca, opening presents, getting her hair braided, twirling, and nap.

Dance Dance Wherever you may be

So my own little Angelina Ballerina took her first ballet lessons yesterday. Oma gave the lessons to her as a present, bought her a pink leotard with a skirt attached, pink tights, and black ballet shoes. The black was my request. I love the contrasting pink and black together. The little girls loved running around together. Beca's class is her best friend Kate and 2 other girls. This is going to be really fun!
