Father Daughter Dance 2012

ByKaren

Tonight was Holly’s 2nd Father Daughter dance and she has been waiting for this night. Not only is it a night for her and daddy, but it’s the last night it will be just her and daddy as Allison will be in Kindergarten next year and will be attending with them. So it was a special night for Holly and Daddy.

It was also a special night for Allison as she got to go on a date with Mommy!  We went to dinner at Chili’s which is her favorite place to go to.  And she also got a special new dress to for our night out.

Holly wasn’t feeling very well and was at the beginning stages of a cold and right before they left she really didn’t look good, but she got over it pretty quickly and had a GREAT time.

She also didn’t mind posing for a few photos before hand..

They took some cute pictures at the dance and I don’t have them yet to scan in to post here but I really love this one of them………….. so precious!

Family Pictures

Friends of mine set up a photo session for our family.  It was gifted to me in September but with Steve having surgery in October, we never got around to doing it.  Now that he’s in his last days, we knew we had to make it happen.  The photographer was kind enough to come to our house and work with us in taking some pictures. I dressed us all in blue for colon cancer.  And I love the results.  We will treasure these photos forever!

Holly’s New Coat

ByKaren

Holly has gone through a few coats this winter.  The one she had from last year that fortunately still fit her, was taken from Gymnastics (I’m sure by accident) and never returned.  Then I bought her a nice one at JCPenny which she didn’t like but she had to wear anyways.  And then she got a new one for her birthday that she liked better. In the end she didn’t like either one of them and conveniently broke the zipper on one of them.  LOL  I think these kids sometimes are smarter than me. Fortunately, I had just received an email about reviewing a Rothschild Coat. so I was happy to not have to buy her another coat.  The only thing was I didn’t get…

Father Daughter Dance – My Favorite Picture of Holly

ByKaren

Father Daughter Dance – My Favorite Picture of Holly I absolutely love this picture I took of Holly from the night of the Father Daughter Dance.  She was more than happy to pose for me and this one was my favorite.  I love her profile and how grown up she looks. She got this dress for her birthday back in November from Nana.  When she opened it she immediately said that was the dress she wanted to wear to the Father Daughter Dance and she never changed her mind about it.  I am so glad she decided to wear this one because it was so ‘her’ and looked awesome on her. I am also glad she wanted to wear her hair up again because as…

School is Out and the Pool is Open

ByKaren

School is out and this is what we did the first day of school vacation.  My girls are like fish and they love being in the pool and oddly enough I’m enjoying it this summer too.  Not sure why.  Perhaps it’s because we have neighbors that enjoy swimming with us as well?  It’s always fun with friends.  Or maybe it’s just because I’ve slowed down so I can enjoy myself more?  I don’t really know but I have a feeling by the time summer is over we are all going to be completely water-logged from all the swimming. But see the happy look on her face?  That’s what I enjoy the most.  She’s swimming up a storm and just enjoying herself.  This is what parenting…

Essex Steam Train

ByKaren

We lived in southern RI/CT for about 12 years.  We’ve been parents for about 8 years and we have driven by the Essex Steam train hundreds of times but we never took the girls on the train until this Spring.  We knew we’d be moving further away and it would make it even more of a distance so we made sure we set aside some time while packing to take them. I’m glad we did – they loved it! It’s not the train to New York, which they really want to take with Mommy some day, but it was still a nice, fun train ride. It reminded me of when I was in 6th grade.  Our end of the year treat was a ride on…

Back To School Time

ByKaren

“It’s the most wonderful time of the Year!!” Oh wait, that’s the holidays not back to school.  Bad Me.  LOL Yesterday was the first day of School and at a new school too!  They girls were very excited.  Especially Allison because she entered Kindergarten.  She’s finally in the same school as her sister.  She feels awesome! Holly started 2nd grade and was a little nervous and cried for a little bit before she went inside but she’s in the same class as our neighbor so that really helped her. She got over it pretty quickly in the end. We took a few pictures at the house first… And a YIPPEE Picture as well – though I’m thinking mom was more “YIPPEE” than the girls were….
