Dance

Hannah started ballet class last week and is loving it. I must admit that seeing 6 little 3 year olds in their tutu's is one of the cutest things I've ever seen! Here are a couple of pictures from yesterday.

Coming back from class


I asked Hannah to show me something that she had learned that day...not bad! ;O)

Beauty

We just returned from a few wonderful days in Michigan. As always, it was great visiting with Jane, Lisa, Stacey and Grandma Smith (who just turned 94 on the 16th!!!). With the beautiful weather last weekend, we even made it down to the beach! It was Ellie's first time with her toes in the sand! What a treat!

Hannah had a blast hanging out with Luke and Taylor several different times during our visit. And, of course, they loved their time with Grandma and Papa too!

Beautiful sunset, beautiful girls


Taylor and Stacey


It's hard to capture the beauty of a sunset that you experience in person, but I tried....one of my favorite things in life.


Goofy girls in the jammies!


Great Grammy and the girls


Ellie found a new fun toy!


The first of many, many times on the beach!


Hannah LOVES every minute on the beach...she never wants to come in!

Buddies

Baby Jackson has been coming over on Mondays and he, Ellie and Hannah have already become best buddies!

Happy Easter!

I love to bring the girls to get their pictures taken and so far, in their short lives, they've behaved pretty well at each sitting. Of course, Ellie is pretty new to all of this...this was only her 3rd time (one time was the grandkid shot w/ the Johanik boys) and she's already a pro! So, here are their spring pics! Thanks to JC Penney at Fox Valley Mall for the great shots!

We hope that each and every one of you reading this blog have a blessed Easter!

Ellie Marie - 7 months



Hannah Rose - 3 years 4 months
