Growing and changing

Today Alton stood on his own for the first time. Well, he's technically stood before but not for a long amount of time. I was walking him into his room and I let go. He stood there and then kind of looked at me like "Mom, am I supposed to be doing this." It was so cute.

Baby, baby.

For Mother's Day I got a new camera. I have been taking LOTS of pictures since then. Here are a few of my favorite 10 month old.

One of the kids left the fridge open and Alton decided to take advantage of the opportunity.

The graduate

Eadie graduated from preschool on the 21st. She did such a good job in the program. Half the time she was the only one I could hear singing. She had two speaking parts which she memorized in only a day. She looked so adorable dancing to the songs.







I wish that I would have got this dance on tape. It was so hilarious, my Mom & I were both laughing so hard. Eadie and the boy next to her in the striped polo were great dancers. It was great. I really wish the battery on my camera hadn't been running out.

Receiving her diploma.

Eadie and Mrs. Kaye. This is the same preschool that Teya went to and the same teacher. It brought back a lot of memories to go to the program.

We're so proud of our Eadie beetle!

Spring Fling performance

Teya had her spring fling dance performance this week. She is a very talented dancer and she did a super job. Plus...look how cute she is!

Freestyle

Freestyle (Teya won first place in freestyle at her last competition.)

Dancing with her team (her team won first place at the last competition too.)

This thing called life.

I have spent a lot of time this week thinking about life and death. I have had two people I know die this week. I also had a friend give birth this week. It makes me so sad to think that on the same day one person is at the mortuary planning her husband's funeral, while the other is at the hospital welcoming her new baby. Sometimes life seems so unfair. You never know what's going to happen. Life is unpredictable. Hold on to every moment you have.

What a lady.

You are a great example to me and I'm SO GLAD that I can call you my Mom!

Happy Birthday!

I love you.
