The Reception

The funniest part of the girls dancing at the reception was Bella trying to dip Charlotte. For the most part she was a willing participant. Where in the world did she get that idea? I guess she saw James dip Jenny during their first dance.

My favorite picture.

The Walk Down the Isle

Her job as flower girl she took very seriously. She made sure the petals were dropped every few steps and were strategicly placed.

Getting all Glammed up

Their fingernails and toenails painted. It's hard to see, but Charlotte is modeling her clip-on earrings. Both of the girls were beside themselves with excitement to have clip-on earrings.

Bella taking her turn to model the earrings.

Bella knows how to play to the camera and Charlotte not so sure she wants to participate.

Upwards Cheerleading

Bella is doing cheerleading with Upwards. It is a faith based program where the kids have a devotional, and scripture memory verse each week besides learning chants, cheers and jumps. Our church is hosting the progam since we have fields for the flag football games. Her first practice was September 12th, a second practice on the 15th and her first game on the 19th. I was gone with my prayer group girls to Gatlingburg, TN for the weekend and missed her first game. This weekend, the 26th, we will be gone to Chicago for my cousin's wedding and Bella will miss a game. I should have lots of pictures to share after the October 3rd game.

1st Ballet Class

Today Charlotte had her first ballet class with Miss Heather. I did take a few pictures; however, they came out blurry. It's sometimes hard to tell on my little camera screen if they are good or not until I download them. I took this picture at home before her class. Charlotte loves ballet. In October she will start learning the routine for the Christmas parent recital and then in January, she will start learning the routine for the big June recital with costume and all.

Kindergarten or Bust

Tuesday, September 2, 2009, Bella had her first day of all day Kindergarten. My baby has begun her school career and there is no turning back now.
I walked her to her classroom today and when we reached it she tells me, "Tomorrow, I can do it by myself." All summer I gave her squeezes and told her,"I'm going to squish you back to a little bitty baby. "Mama," she says, "You can't do that. I already was a little bitty baby in your tummy once." When I picked her up I asked her how her day went, "I had too much fun!" she exclaimed. I don't know what too much fun is, but it has to be good.
