Just About Finished!!!!



The girls love the new play set!!! PaPa and Daddy did a great job! Now we are just waiting for the tire swing to arrive. Thanks, PaPa!!!

Dance...Dance...Dance....









My two beautiful dancers put on a wonderful show last weekend. Buttercup has grown so much as a dancer over the years, but she has decided to take a break from dance next year and work on her cheerleading. Buttercup is an amazing tap dancer and I hope I can convince her to take lessons if I am able to teach her class this year. Snapdragon loved being on stage and is still singing songs from the show. Her favorite song is "My Boyfriend's Back." She danced very well...which surprised us a bit because she cried at many a dance lesson. I couldn't be prouder!

Swim Lessons




Snapdragon started swim lessons at the pool we joined last summer. We have met a very nice family who also adopted a little girl from Hunan province. She is nine months older than Snapdragon, but look at the size difference! She and Snapdragon have become good friends and they actually could be going to the same school in a few years!

Tea With the Ducks


A Peabody duck! Quack! Quack!

Sipping tea....






Enjoying a sugar cube!





This was our third course. First, we had yummy tea sandwiches, then scones, then desert!




Checking out the menu.




Waiting for her Raspberry-Quince tea.




Here ducky, ducky!







We took Grammy to see the Peabody Hotel and the famous ducks. While we were there, we stayed and enjoyed tea! It was wonderful! Buttercup and Snapdragon were very polite and well behaved (even if Snapdragon enjoyed licking the sugar cube from her tea cup).

Grammy and PaPa visit our Tennessee Home!

Two cute business women!


Progress!


Day one!





Grammy and PaPa have come to visit! We have already been very busy. PaPa and Lou are building a swingset for the girls and Grammy and the girls have already been cooking and baking.

Our Cheerleader




Buttercup is excited about being a cheerleader this coming school year. Her practices and tumbling lessons have already started. Here she is modeling her uniform.
