Addison's Dance Recital

We had such fun tonight. Addison was such a big girl. She went "backstage" all by herself and played with her friends during the show. She loved dancing in front of the audience, showed no fear, and gave her teacher, Miss Monica, the biggest hug I've ever seen after the dance. I think her favorite part was watching Monica dance during the last part. *** this video was from the dress rehearsal as no videos were allowed during the full show.

Addison's First French Braid

Addison was SOOOOO proud of her first french braid... and ALLLLLL of her little friends at her school kept telling her how beautiful it was and touched it all day long. I should have taken a picture of her at the end of the day ~ complete Medusa head ;-) Hope you enjoy the pics! Oh yeah... and Emme was proud of her pigtails, too!

Dress Rehearsal

Addison has been looking forward to her dance recital for a few weeks now. She finally got to go up on the stage for the dress rehearsal, and she loved it. I only took a few pictures, but I'll be sure to post more next week. The actual recital is on Friday!!! Send big internet hugs and well-wishes her way.

Graduation 2009

Graduation Day is finally here!!! We had a wonderful day celebrating the end of a long journey.

Baby?

We packed up the last of the bibs and burp cloths this morning. We're painting the guest room so Emme can move into it soon. She still sleeps in her crib, but with her 2nd birthday around the corner, does this mean she's not my "baby" anymore???

One of my favorites...

This is PS 22 in Brooklyn.

Pappy's Visit

Things have been crazy busy here the past month. I've finally finished all of my doctoral paperwork (there's miles of it after the actual defense!) and all of my spring travel has concluded. In between all of the craziness, we've taken many pictures and had lots of fun... sorry for not updating more! Part of the fun was a visit from Pappy and Ba Chan. Our visit with them was wonderful and Addison and Emme are still talking about it. Here are a few snapshots of our time... Reading the books Pappy brought The whole gang at the girls' carnival Night time stories Play time after a yummy meal out Playing peek-a-boo with Pappy Riding the horsee at the school carnival... Emme didn't reallly like it a whole bunch :-) Addison didn't like it a bunch either, but she still asks about riding them again
