Growing Up

It feels like these two have been doing a lot of growing up these days. Kate went to primary for the first time last week. I held her by the hand walked her to class and expected some sort of resistance out of her. She smiled, waved goodbye, and sat on the bench like it was no big deal. She also started dance lessons. Something she's been anticipating almost as much as going to Disney Land. She is taking a ballet and tap class. She was the shortest one in class but did a great job for her first time. I was amazed at how well she kept up and followed the teacher.

Gabriella continues to be the ham she always is. She doesn't talk much but does say "Heyago" whenever she hands you something. She seems to understands almost everything I say which always surprises me. Even though she has been under the weather this past week she continues to run around smiling, even if it is at midnight :)


First day of dance class.



Doing puzzles on Matt's phone, one of her new favorite activities.

She was so excited when she stacked the blocks, and then so distressed when they fell over.

They are so so beautiful. I just signed up Eliza for dance too! I'm excited about this.

So adorable!! Kate is so big. Aiden asked me if she would still be afraid of him if he came to visit. LOL I told him probably not. When in March did you think you might be passing through?

The girls are adorable! I noticed the flowers on Kate's shirt and the bow in Gabriella's hair!! DARLING!
Fun to hear how they are growin' up...a little too fast though.

Kate looks so cute in her dance clothes!! I definitely can't wait to sign Makenna up someday (hopefully soon). And I LOVE Kate's shirt. The roses are so cute. You will have to email the tutorial on those. I love the pictures of Gabriella too. She is such a cutie!

I love these pictures - especially how you can see the story unfold with Gabriella.

Glad Kate did well on her ballet class! She'll have to teach Kaiya a thing or two when she sees her next.
