Ella update

Ella is so busy now-a-days.  She loves 3rd grade, but hates the homework because there is a lot of it.

Here she is on her 1st day of 3rd grade. 

 

 

She also started her 4th year of dance.  She loved competitive dance so much last year we are doing it again.  I am impressed everytime I see her because she is a complete natural.  Those aren't my genes in action!

.
Ella also is doing awesome with piano.  I get so happy watching her play.  Sometimes we do duets together and it is the best!  I love playing and I am so glad she does as well. 

Finally, Ella is still the best big sister.  Her brother watches everything she does and he shadows her every movement.

Parker update

Parker is 23 months.  What?  Yup.

He is almost 2 and just had his first haircut.  It was so long.  And curly.  But it was getting a little out of control.  So even though I miss the curls, I L.O.V.E. his new hairdo. 

                                                      Before when he looked little:

 

 

 

During 

 

 

 

 After:  Ella was not happy at the loss of his hair

 

 

 

Apparently, neither was Parker.  Or Dad.  Everyone was sad he lost his locks.

 

 

 

 

But really, after the tears all stopped, he is a pretty good looking guy and he looks so handsome and grown up.

Parker adores his daddy.  I mean, cries when his daddy goes to work, cuddles him (and nobody else), does cologne and deodorant with his dad, follows him everywhere and copies everything he does.  Like mowing the lawn.

 

 

  

 I love my babies blue eyes.

 He figured the keyboard on the piano also works for a parking garage.

And he is pretty darn excited about it.
