A Whole New World!

For a few weeks Annabelle has been hinting that her vision was less then perfect.....today was the day...this little beauty added glasses to her look!

I think she looks fabulous!!

It is hot hot hot in the city!

For the past few days it's felt like we skipped spring and went right to summer!  The kids have been loving sundresses, sandals and no long sleeves!  Annabelle says it's just like FL, minus the family and fun.... booooooooo

Piper LOVES to ride all the toys in the driveway.  I think it's her most favorite thing to do!  I think she misses the Pirate Ship from FL.  Good thing we have about 200 toys from Annabelle to fill in!

Double fisting at the park!

I didn't get a very good picture, but it's ADORABLE...when Annabelle practices her ballet dance on the computer, Piper follows right along.  She might know the dance better than some of the kids in the class!

A mid-morning ride

And Annabelle's first "song" using two hands and notes going in opposite directions!  She had her lesson today and is super excited about using the white keys!

Melt Your Marshmallows...and Your Heart!

With summer-like temperatures, the new pool safety fence, and a Dad in town we broke out the S'mores...Two nights in a row!!  Annabelle was over the moon about it and Piper REALLY enjoyed a few bites.

Really Enjoyed!

I thought it was adorable that Annabelle "saved" some funnies from the fire.  (see her in the background catching up on old faves!)

Piper FINALLY shows some interest in books aside from being a precursor to bed....

She shoots...She Scores!

First tee-ball game of the season!  The team did AWESOME!!  There were several huge hits (kids get 5 pitches, then the tee if they need it)  Annabelle had one of the giant hits.  Then she took a giant hit to the eye!  She screamed (like a loony toon) then got right back in the game!

GO SRA!

Pippa Paints!

Pippa's nude...

After covering herself in the paint, eating some paint, stepping in some paint, and smearing paint all over her mother, she was stripped down to the diaper!

Cutie ON the table.

She refused her seat....REFUSED

Now for the melt your heart moment....

Annabelle was reading to Piper for bedtime tonight and Piper loved every minute of it.  Day by day Annabelle becomes an even sweeter sister!

A preview of the big Spring Ballet Recital Dance.

Annabelle is front right (on your screen) with the ponytail in the middle.  We video taped to the girls could practice.  As her 2nd class back after being in FL and learning the dance on her own I think she's done FANTASTIC!

We're back in the Lou!

We made it back from Florida.  While we desperately miss family and our beach days, we have settled back into the baseball life!  Adam has been working hard and enjoying his new position!  Annabelle is thrilled to be back in school with her friends and Piper is stoked to find a whole new set of tables and couches to climb on top of!  All in all we love the Jupiter/STL split!  Already looking forward to next year!

Here's a look at our last few weeks in FL, and first few in Saint Louis:

Baby in a bucket!

Yesterday Alli, Piper, Lydia and I went to the Zoo...

It was a great morning!

Chimps

I am over the moon proud of Annabelle and the work she put in to learn her dance recital number via DVD.  She practiced each day, and when she went back to class she didn't miss a beat!

Their costumes came in yesterday....just adorable!

P's big face!

Sad she can't dance with the big girls!

Our scuttle bug scuttle buggin' around!
