Lucky

Let me tell you how lucky Eliana is that she is so cute. She has really been showing her 3-year-old colors lately and it's driving us all (even chilled out Sasha) crazy. If you even look at her the wrong way, her temper flares and the sh*t will hit the fan. Of course, don't even bother trying to talk to her in a calm voice because, she can cover her ears, give you an air hit, and scream so loud that I'm suprised the cops haven't been called to our house.

Think she's trying to tell me something?

She kept running back to the bedroom but I wasn't ready for bed. So she just plopped down on my tushy.

Snugglebugs

I had some help during my nap the other day.



And then they continued on without me.

My new Dalmation puppy

Poor Gracie had been matted down to her skin since we brought her home. The only way to fix it was to shave her. Now that it's warm again in Florida, we had to do it. I LOVE her spots. I do miss her poof but she's pretty darn cute.

Was she ever little?

This is Sasha's foot against mine...almost the same size.

Imagination

Eliana is taking a keyboard class at school. She's very musical. She even makes music in the bathroom by tapping her feet and banging on the toilet lid. Yes, it takes forever for her to go potty. The other day, I was listening to Tori Amos and during the piano playing, Eliana pulled the stool up to the ledge of the bathtub and started to pretend to play the piano.

School Pictures

They just don't make them like they used to! THANK GOODNESS!

Sasha's Sport

I think she's found her niche!!

Sleeping Babies

Slide Head

Fondue is FUN to DO!!

Getting along

Look! They were playing so nicely together and were NOT arguing!!!

Flopsy

When ELiana had her photo shoot for the photo contest, the photographer also had a baby bunny for Easter portraits. While we didn't need Easter portraits, we sure did need to hold the baby bunny.

Hey, this looks like a fun place to be.

Buddies

...or just hungry. As you can see, both dogs LOVE them some Eliana especially when she is eating. Dudley just won't GIVE UP.

Strawberry Pickin'

We've been waiting all "winter" for the strawberries to turn ripe at our local patch. We've had such a "cold" winter that it took a while but we finally got the chance to go. We picked almost 9 pounds of berries and it didn't take long before they were gone! And we absolutely HAD to go to row 3 because that is Eliana's favorite number.

Relay for Life

After losing a close friend of the family to Breast Cancer when I was in college, it has always been an organization we have donated to. Every year our county school system does a big Relay for Life walk but this year, Sasha's school organized a MINI walk just for the kids. To be honest, it was just enough for mom too! 10 times around the bus loop blowing bubbles, chasing balloons, blowing whistles and dancing an Irish Jig is my kind of exercise! 9 11 19

Eliana's First Dentist Appointment

The hygienist told me to expect them to only be able to clean a few teeth. She said most kids start crying as soon as they see the chair. I was pleasantly surprised that Eliana not only stayed calm as she sat in the chair, but she allowed the hygienist to clean all of her teeth! It must have been the tutu she was wearing.

More love

Eliana's school also had a KidzArt program. It was a morning filled with messy art projects in THEIR GYM and I didn't have to clean up!!!!!!!!!
