Hello everyone,

Here are the rest of the pictures from our trip to see Smidge for her birthday and Bean and Bug for their Dance Recital.

Smidge in the car again for the trip to the school.

She wasn't terribly excited about this trip!

Bean walking up to the school with one of her two costumes on.

Bug walking to the school carrying her dance bag!

Smidge is happy now that she can play with Daddy!

She really likes Daddy's hat!

She looks good in hats!

Maybe this way is better!

"I really think I should cover my ears"!

There, a beautiful baby in her daddy's hat!

Bug is third from the right, leaning forward a little - so cute!

Bug is still third from the right.

Smidge was a very good baby for almost the entire show before getting just a little bit restless!

Bean in the front here in the first of her two dances.

Sitting and pretending to write for this dance.

A very cute dance number!

Bean is third from the left here.

Bean is right in the middle here.

She is third from the left here - a very cute dance!

The entire group filing in by class. Bean is right between the two girls in blue (middle and right). We tried to get Bug in the group but they walked in front of her too quickly and we couldn't see her.

Bean, Smidge and Bug after the Recital.

The two sisters in their costumes right after the Recital - quite the pose! :)

A little closer together here!

In the backyard - they look like they're trying to stay warm!

And another one in the house.

Okay, Grandma, can this be enough, now?

How about one more close-up?

Bean and Bug with the books that THEY read to ME for bedtime! That was fun!

Bean with some of her favorite things.

Bean with MORE of her favorite things!

Bug with some of her favorite things.

Bug with MORE of her favorite things!

Smidge loves her mommy!

Pretty Mommy with a very tired Smidge!

It is really hard to believe that Smidge is already 1 year old! That time went SO fast! We really had fun and can't wait to see them all again soon! We have Bean's 8th birthday coming up July 31. Another birthday party and lots more pictures! My next post will have pictures I took when I went to help Fenori and the girls take Zoo to get his 2 year old pictures taken. I love my new camera, can you tell?! :)

I hope you're enjoying the summer and being where God wants you to be, doing what HE wants you to do! That's the only way to be truly blessed!

Shalom in Him,

Robin

Hello everyone,

Here are the pictures we took of Smidge's 1st birthday.

In the van on the way to the restaurant for lunch.

Another view.

Smidge clapping her hands.

Smidge looks a little sleepy here!

Smidge with Daddy - so cute!

Back home after lunch, Smidge is "drawing"!

Starting to open her presents from Grandma and Grandpa.

Bean and Bug were helping her!

Smidge really liked the purple ribbon on this one!

Now she's figuring it out!

What's in the bag, Smidge?

Tissue paper is fun!

A musical stacker - she liked this one!

Smidge with her own little cell phone. You can record messages on here that she can listen to.

It looks like she's trying to talk on it here.

Bean modeling her new swim suit.

Bug with her new swim suit.

Smidge pushing her new push/ride on toy.

Oops, where do I go now?

Mommy got her turned around and here she goes!

I think she likes this one!

It is really hard to believe that she is already 1 year old! That year went by SO fast! We had fun going out for lunch together, even though the service left a LOT to be desired! Then we stopped at the DQ for treats to take home instead of a birthday cake. Mommy always makes the girls cakes for their birthdays. This was actually about a week before her birthday.

After the birthday party and naps, we went to Bean and Bug's Dance Recital. That was lots of fun, too. I'll have those pictures in a couple of days.

I hope you're all enjoying the warm weather! Have a great week!

Shalom in Him,

Robin
