Elsie's Teacher...Mrs. Downes! She is in the "Big Girl" class this year and she LOVES her teacher!
It POURED during drop off time on her first day of school so I put Elsie in my emergency rain slicker and she was sad because it covered up her special sunshine dress. My MIL made the red dress and then Elsie and I painted the adorabel sunshine on it with fabric puffy paint! The sunshine is the logo of Holy Cross Preschool...the most wonderful place on earth.
This place is amazing, and we have been here several times, but Tuesday we took my cousin Dana, and her little 8yr girl Kylie who are visiting from LAX. We walked in at 11:55 and the lady at the desk asked us if we were here for the release!!! We couldn't believe our luck! We had stumbled upon the day that they were releasing a rehabilitated turtle into the sea and it was all taking place at 12 noon! We raced out to the tanks to see them loading the turtle onto a turtle stretcher and then we all went down to the beach and lined the staked out "runway." We watched them send the turtle home to the ocean and the crowd cheered! It was an awesome moment.
My dear Auntie Izzy in France was horrified when I removed this image from my Blog Headder, so I have re-posted it for her! We love love you Izzy! Keep checking on us on our Blog.
The twins' first birthday was July 11th and we celebrated with Greg & Anna at their wedding! I got some darling pictures of them at the big event!
At almost 1 year old, the twins are amazing and SUCH individuals! Their laughs are totally different, but both highly contagious, not only to everyone around, but to eachother! Hilarious!
My play room is filled with every FisherPrice, Baby Einstein, Parents' Choice, Tonka, and Disney toy know to man, but I can't keep them out of the drawers and the frig! LOL
Yes, I know I am behind on posts again, but things have been a little zaney around here! Anyway, couldn't resist posting these pics of David, the best Daddy I know, and Elsie passing the time one of these recent rainy days! Elsie decided that she wanted to paint Daddy's toes to match her toes that I had done te day before! LOL What a good sport he was....about half way through the (very messy) process, David said to me "this is going to take forever to get off," to which I calmly replied that I was comletely out of polish remover!!!! This was, of course, a lie but the look on his face was one of those priceless moments! LOL Needless to say Elsie was very proud of her work.
