My birthday!


Ben took the day off and we spent it together as a family. It was so fun. I think as I get older I am finally starting to recognize the importance of moments and memories. What a great day. I took them to a place I love to run and we just hiked up a mile or so. The kids were hot and tired, by the end the twins were asleep and Abbie and Izza were lap sitting in the umbrella stroller, but for me it will remain in my memory forever!

Painting the piano!


My girls are always begging to play instruments. Abbie wants to play the violin, and Izza wants to play the cello. I have read and heard that its good to take piano first. I found a teacher and signed my girls up but.... I didn't have a piano. Craigs list is my new best friend!! I found this piano for a steal, already tuned, and well taken care of. I spent an afternoon with a friend painting it. I am so happy with how it turned out!! LOVE IT! Abbie is zipping through her piano book and Izza is learning songs and loves practicing! I am so proud of them!

Our little dancer!

Abbie was a frog in this years recital. They did TARZAN! It was so fun! She was invited to try out for the competition team. We waited for several weeks to find out if she made it. We are very proud to say that she did! It will require a lot of time and practice on her part, but she wants to do it! Its hard to think she is old enough to have a busy schedule. Both Ben and I are so proud of our talented daughter!
