A wise man told me once...




...not to forget about or leave out the man of our house in these sometimes very in depth postings.  So, in light of the upcoming annual fatherly celebration I thought I would post an ode to a very special guy (mostly 'cause he never reads this stuff unless I show him, so I can conveniently forget to show him this posting :-) 

I think everyone is caught up on our very lengthy ordeal with Scott's schooling so I don't think I need to bore anyone with any more of the gory details.  But what's really important to note here is that he is my hero... he really set his mind to this goal.  How many of us would have given up 3, 4, 5 years ago.  I know I would have (and sometimes did, but shhhhh, don't tell him).  This man had many, many obstacles to overcome to be able to forge ahead, but all along I know he saw the end result in his mind and that's what kept driving him, it's what kept him at the library sometimes 6 days a week (thank goodness government workers get Sunday off or he would have been there everyday of the week - of course by then I'm sure they would have dedicated an entire study wing to him).

I am the most proud of the example he has set for our children.  Our kids will NEVER under value education and it will be a top priority for them.  They won't remember these years (at least I hope they don't), but they will know of the love their dad had for them, so much so that the sacrifices he made by being away from us WILL pay off and will afford us so many more luxuries and memories.

So to the big man of the house... we love you dearly and are so grateful for all of your accomplishments and achievements.  Happy Father's Day!!

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!!
