Well this bad blogger Mama has made it through the school year... I do have a good excuse for not posting since Mother's Day though..  My list is long like everyone else reading this post:  Pre-school finale, gymnastics show, dance recital, piano recital, teacher gifts, and some exciting Pearl River work!!    As of today, we are officially on Summer break!  It's too chilly to swim, but the girls are happily having a no schedule day!!!  Next week our big girl turns 12 on the 12th!  So, I shift gears today to planning a fun Golden Birthday Celebration....  I can't believe she is almost officially a "tween!"

So, it may be another week before I post again..  But, I must share some very sweet pictures from our weekend!!!  Most of the dance photos are from the dress rehearsal..

The dance recital was.... PRECIOUS!  I was so proud of the girls..  Especially, Sienna who was very nervous at the dress rehearsal.  But, yesterday she looked like a beautiful confident ballerina.  I have never seen her dance so well...  When I really think about how far she has come in three years it makes me well up..  Our little spicy girl, is quite the beauty on stage..  Like she was born to be in a tutu!   And, Miss Emme Jade smiled from ear to ear, did her steps, and waved at her sister who was waiting in the wings.  She and Bella could not be missed yesterday in their "You've Got a Smile" number!  "Tutu Cute" applies here!

The dance recital ended at 1:45 and the piano recital started at 2:00.  Mr. Handsome and I tagged team and we successfully got everyone where they needed to be on time!  And, let me just say Ainsley and Ruby showed us what hard work and believing in yourself is all about.  (I wish I could say there was no grumbling involved about practicing...)  They both performed their songs that seemed impossible to master a short time ago beautifully!!!  I hope they both choose to continue their piano lessons.   It's such a gift to hear them play!
