Practice

Little Miss amazes me in a variety of ways.  She is athletic, smart, musical, and just FUN!  She rarely lacks energy and is typically willing to accept adventure.  Today we were watching a recording of “The Amazing Race.”  I could read her emotions as she watched the teams compete in daring water adventures.  I asked […]

She caught my eye tonight….

Christmas Piano Recital

          Our youngest, Little Miss, has been taking piano lessons from a talented, Miss Magen, for almost a year.  We are very pleased with her progress.  She especially does well when she practices.  🙂 We were able to attend the Christmas Recital a few days before Christmas.  It was at a […]

I SHOULD be thankful

  I should be thankful for the MANY MANY MANY items of clothing my children own.   But at this moment I AM NOT!   How on earth can my two girlies have OVER-bulging drawers and closets and still find NOTHING to wear.   Oh dear me.   We are leaving for a three day trip […]

The BIG birthday bash

Little Miss has never had a big birthday party.  Last year she didn’t even have a teeny one.  So……….we splurged and celebrated her 8th b-day (3 weeks late) at American Girl Doll Store/Bistro.  It might have cost a fortune but when I did ZERO preparations (other than tell the husband what I wanted on the […]
