Catch up

I've been extremely lazy about the blog this year. It's all that vacationing. Not that I'm complaining the vacations this year have been fabulous. Yes, I'm still editing photos. One day they will make it to the internet scene. Until then, what have we been up to?

The girls are getting big of course. Our little bug turned three in June and Clara is a week away from the big 5. Crazy how time flies. We have entered a hectic schedule of juggling school, ballet classes and countless Mommy and Papa activities. It's been crazy but fun. Now that a few weeks of our new weekday schedule have gone by I'm starting to get in the swing of things. It was hard going from a weekly schedule of nothing unless we felt like it to something we have to do everyday. So anyway enough about the schedule here are a few recent pics of the girls and their silly mommy. More can be found here - Clara and Hazel 2011

Firsts

It's a week of firsts. Clara has begun her journey into formal education (if preschool really counts as formal education. She loves school. Her class is small and has only two other girls but she's having a great time. She paints or draws everyday. Some days she has music, movement, drama and all sorts of other fun activities. I'm very pleased that she is enjoying school and Hazel and I are enjoying our few hours of one on one time together.

Another first for the month. Hazel has finally started ballet class. After waiting outside her sisters classes for a year she was so excited to be able to go too. She thinks it's fantastic. For only being three she's had no problem running into the room and participating. She hasn't once cried or complained. I knew she would love it since she's so into dance but I was a little worried about the transition since Clara had a little bit of a problem in the beginning. Nope not Hazel. She's been doing great. She appears to be the smallest in her class which makes her look even more adorable doing all her ballet steps. Now we have two little dancers in our house.
