Lydia’s ballet class
Published in May 30th, 2008
Less than a week after Meredith’s watch day in ballet, it was Lydia’s turn. She woke up so nervous about it. She had been excited about it in the weeks leading up to it, but that morning she was scared. But she got up, asked for her favorite piggy-tail hair-do, and took a deep breath, [...]
The Twins - part two

A week or two ago, we found this baby bird in our front yard. He was tiny, could barely move, but was alive. He had fallen from this nest. When Eric got home, he pulled out the ladder, lifted the momma bird’s tail feathers up and unceremoniously slipped the baby bird under her. Since then [...]

This week we went to see Lydia dance. [...]

To those of you who sent Allison money for her birthday, she is using it to pay her little sister to do her chores for her. So far Meredith has “earned” $4 from Allison.
I almost forgot about Allison’s ears!

About a month after Meredith’s day with ear piercing and mall shopping, Allison had her day. She opted for an exact replica of Meredith’s day.
Here’s a pictorial depiction of the ear piercing:
Ummm, I’m not so sure about this…..
I THINK I really want my ears pierced…..
Or do I???
I’m in my happy place - [...]

Last night 7 other ladies from my neighborhood bookclub and I went to see the musical Wicked - it was amazing. The whole night was amazing. Dinner first, then the show. I had so much fun.
I wish I could write more….describe how much fun I had. Seriously, the best night I’ve had in a very [...]
