Recital

Emma had her dance recital the Sunday before Memorial day.  She did such a great job and did all of the steps!  I thought she was going to panick being on such a big stage but she handled it like a pro!  After, she asked me if she was going back on stage...I think we have a performer on our hands!

This is one of my favorite pictures...we were in Fort Worth with out Daddy and Brian brought Emma pancakes for breakfast.  She looked at me and said "Will you take a picture of me and my pancakes and send it to Daddy so he can see that I am having pancakes?"  It was too funny!

Sneak peek at Emma's recital

Emma has her dance recital at the end of May but had picture day at he beginning of May and they did a practice run of her dance.  It is just too cute and I can't wait for the real thing!

8 Months

Charlotte turned 8 months on April 29th!  At 8 Months, Charlotte is trying to crawl, eating more "real" food and loving to stand (assisted of course).  She is such a happy girl that loved her big sister and thinks her daddy is really funny.
