The ties that bind...

Today was a unique and special Sunday for the Herrick crew. The oldest nephew/cousin/grandson in the family is headed off on his 2-year church mission and this was his farewell today. It's so crazy to think this "kid" is going off into the world (actually Baton Rouge, Louisiana but it may as well be a whole other world from what I hear) with one goal in mind - to help and to teach people about our church. What an amazing experience this is going to be for him and all of us, his family, who get to live vicariously and follow along with him on his journey via letters, quick e-mails and an occasional phone call or two.

Well, beside the final send off for Logan we were able to manage one final family picture of the entire bunch - orchestrated poorly by me (please don't ever make me take any family pictures at high noon, outside in 115 degrees) - but with a little (who's kidding, I mean a lot of) help from photoshop I was able to get something a bit nice out of one picture.

Whoa baby, it's been a lonnnng time!

OK, here we go... my attempt to play catch up... Scrolling down you see it was just a few posts ago that I was so proud of my new lil 2nd grader. Well as time so often does it just flew right by and we just wrapped up 2nd grade year... watch out 3rd grade. As tradition in our house here is Sam's mini shoot commemorating her 2nd grade year.

Our prima ballerina!

Miss Sammy had her 2nd dance recital with Miss Annie's dance class. I was beaming ear to ear watching her dance her heart out. She was absolutely beautiful, graceful and completely poised. I'm so glad she enjoys dance class and can't wait to start up the next session.

Another before and after... this one is not so dramatic...

Before: 4 bandanas (2 zebra print & 2 pink polka dot) After: 1 very ADORABLE bandana dress and 1 super STYLISH bandana shirt Now I know this is not a new concept here, but I am really quite proud of my little sewing creation. So proud that I'm sure the girls are going to be screaming and chanting 'put down the bandana and just walk away'. These were oh so (and sew) easy!!! I'm seeing one in every color and pattern for the girls... oh the possibilities!!
