My pink Flip

I got a Flip video camera a few weeks ago and I LOVE it so much! The first video is of Jimmy and Maddy the other night. 
The second video is a little 'movie' I put together on my Mac from videos I took of Eleanor at Gymnastics Camp last week.  I will put together a video of Lucy too.  Stay tuned....

FINALLY....

The sun is finally shining!!! It has been over two weeks since we have last been to the pool. The weather has been horrible! But, today...the sun is shining. It is 9am and the kids are already in their suits and ready to go.  
The girls started gymnastics camp last night and loved all of the fun activities.  Here is a picture of the kids right before we left. I love how Jimmy is looking at Lucy. 
Here are the girls looking out the door as we were getting ready to leave.  (Lucy looks so old in this picture!)
Here is Sassy Eleanor posing in her gymnastics gear. 
The girls start swim lessons tomorrow and I promise to get some pictures. Eleanor is very excited and Lucy is not so sure.  

It is hard to believe that June is already half over. That means Eleanor starts Kindergarden in two months.  I can't imagine what they days are going to be like with her not here.  One child being gone COMPLETELY changes the dynamics around the house. Lucy will also start preschool.  Which means Jimmy and I will have some alone time in the mornings.  
Off to work on Kindergarten and Preschool workbooks.

Our little dancer



Eleanor had her dance recital tonight. She did a GREAT job. She was in two dances and was as cute as can be.  This is her second year at Carrie's studio and will be joined by Lucy Jane next year. 
Here is Eleanor before we left for the recital. 
Here is Eleanor with her wonderful teacher Miss Mindy.  She has been Eleanor's teacher for the past two years. 
Here is Eleanor with her favorite babysitter, Sara.  She was in SIX dances in the recital and Eleanor loved trying to find her on stage. Instead of Where's Waldo, it was Where's Sara? 
Here is Eleanor in her jazz costume. They did a hip hop routine to Who's afraid of the Big Bad Wolf.  Last year I gave her a bear with a matching costume and of course had to do the same this year. 
Here is Lucy Jane with me getting Eleanor ready in the Green Room. David and I can't believe SHE is going to be dancing on stage next year. 
Here is Eleanor posing in her tap costume. This was to At the Hop and a great little routine. 
It was a fun year of dancing and a great recital.  I can't believe how much she has grown in the past year.  The days go by way too fast these days.
