if your family has any tips or experience with low-cost, low-hassle portrait solutions... please send them our way... thanks!

flashback

the days of bella dancing all over our kitchen floor as if it were her very own stage... i was looking at old photos of bella back when she was violet's age (almost 20mos old).
so fun to remember her baby days now that she is a big kindergartner! In this photo she is dancing as her little friend Samuel pushes the Leap Frog music button on the fridge. Violet is very into this same thing right now. Just tonight she went in the playroom and found the singing teapot in her kitchen. She pushed the button and started dancing away. She even threw in some new moves she got from big sister as she held the table and stuck one foot in the air behind her like a little ballerina. Mom & I laughed and laughed and she kept doing tricks and dancing the more we laughed. Our little entertainer.
