Crab Fest

Osten and Marci have been having a ball lately catching tons of blue crabs.

Ooooolala!!

Little Girls Who Lunch

After a wait that I know seemed like an eternity, Marci got to have lunch at her school this Thursday. She was so excited that she asked about her lunchbox almost as soon as she woke up, and she helped me pack it, too. It seemed like such a monumental occasion, that we got to school a little early and took a couple pictures.

What a big girl!

Puppy Love

When we were down at the marina a couple weekends ago, we happened upon a newly adopted Miniature Schnauzer puppy. Marci was instantly in love!

Ballet School

Well, finally the day arrived for Marci's first ballet class. Marci was ready to put on her leotard and tights as soon as she got out of the bed in the morning!

After lunch and quiet time, it was finally time!

Here she is posing with her fellow ballerinas ~ Elana, Izzy and Marin.

And off she goes . . .

Milestone Mania

What a big boy . . . walking to class with one of the older kids as an escort! And about one week later, he decided it was more fun to walk to class all by himself. Way to go, Osten!

A Boost for a Big Girl

Look who has a booster seat now! She has been asking for one for no less than the entire past year, and we have been telling her that she would have to wait until her fourth birthday. Well, now that we have two car pools with drop-offs on different sides, it made sense for her to get her long-awaited seat a little early. Needless to say, she was thrilled!

She picked it out all by herself. Four stores later, and we finally found one with some pink on it. I think her legs grew instantly after she climbed into it! Oh, my . . .
