Annabelle's a-growing....

Civic Duty at its finest.

That is the look of a proud little girl! One who has FINALLY mastered the art of sleeping!

Sculpture park on the 75 degree Saturday...posing near her "flying pumpkin with a big tail"

can't. get. enough.

lounging

I just love her serious bow!

She let me know very randomly in the car today that boys touch their heart when they bow, but girls put both arms out. Also, that the boy in her class is a bad listener because he did it wrong, but this week, she'll let him know what to do.....

No more baby folks! She's a big girl!

Aaaand, completely unrelated....the 3rd floor is FINALLY coming along...

I've completed my "vanity"... I have wanted one for my whole life, but could never

commit to the ugly furniture or space it took up...so, I "made" this one, and to me...it's a dream!

The direct sunlight through the window, photo collage from Adam,

and clock to keep me on time all make it just a bit more perfect! sigh!

Fall Fun with Friends

Annabelle and Grace have had a lovely fall so far...baking, playing, princessing....and now Ballet & Tap Class!

Before we get to that though, for Halloween Adam and I went tourist crazy "taking" Annabelle "aka Minnie getting Married" to Disney....oh what fun...lots and lots of laughs went into these costumes!

She put together her own costume and was oh so excited!

Clearly the picture above dates my non-picture-uploading....this was pre-loss;(

The girls at our Soulard Block party...they princessed their way through it!

And...here's ballet & tap class!

Tap a tap a tap

Ballet class, through the glass!

She/They participate in everything, and I work out for a little then catch the end of class!

On their way and very excited!

Doc McBelly still in practice...

Last night Adam and I went out to dinner with friends and Miss Kari (A's sitter) said she LOVES a fun new game with her dollhouse called, "Everyone breaks their legs" and she rushes to their aid with her Dr kit after they "fall"

The Science Center has a wonderful "Save our Wildlife" Exhibit that Annabelle LOVED....we spent a very thoughtful hour in it...truly great! Here she is as a turtle!

Videos from class!

you can't hear but in this one the teacher is saying

"This is my left foot, this is my left foot....etc"

it's AAAADORABLE!

Their big Halloween Finale!

Those darn champagne showers again....

Poor Adam and his sensitive skin;)

Post-Season Fun awaits!

Oh Annabelle, if only you could understand just how fun this is!

For the LOVE of baseball.....

Well, here comes the October Odgeda! Yikes.....As I pace the house waiting to see about playoffs, I've decided it's a fine time to upload three pretty cute pictures!

Since Halloween is Adam's self-proclaimed favorite holiday...Annabelle and I did a little decorating for him this afternoon. I see a tacky light-up ghost...she see's her new BFF whose hand she LOVES to hold!

I suppose Bailey IS pretty darn lovable!
