June activities

June has been another very busy month. The best thing that happened was my dance recital! It was my very first recital, and even through a few tears I had a great time. This year I did gymnastics and ballet. I'm hoping to do tap and ballet in the fall.


Gymnastics costume - Hawaii theme


Ballet costume - "A Dream is a Wish"


We spent Father's Day weekend with all the fathers in our lives. On Saturday we had a party with the Martins and we got to spend time with Grandpa Martin. On Sunday for lunch we had a picnic in our backyard with Daddy. Then we had dinner with Papa Tom!


Eva and I are standing in front of a T-Rex at the Zoo. Eva wanted to touch the robot, and I was just sad that they weren't REAL dinosaurs!


Here Eva and I are with Curious George. We went to the PBS Kids Club Live at Freedom Hill and saw lots of PBS friends. I was so excited to see George!


This week I also went to summer Bible school, or as Mommy called it: VBS. I am going to go to the school in the fall for Preschool, so I had a long week of getting used to the building, the people and the playground (which I love)!

the recent past

We have been REALLY busy. Between a visit with Thomas, Eva's Birthday, and many day trips to a variety of places...Eva and I are pretty active. Here are some of Mommy's FAVORITE pictures from May.


Here we all are on Thomas at Greenfield Village on May 3rd.


Eva's Sock Monkey Themed Birthday party on May 11th. Can you see the little berets on the cupcakes?


Eva is 2 years old!!


Here I am with my next door neighbor, Anthony. He is my boyfriend. He is 19 months old and Eva and I love playing with him.

Zoe's Birthday Brunch

My birthday celebration was on March 22nd. Mommy and Daddy had people over for a Birthday Brunch. My favorite part, by far, was the cake. I loved getting a skeleton, a solar system and a corresponding game, movies, and a puzzle that has the layers of a body, a computer, and of course my hand-me-down bike! Here are some pictures of the day:

Zoe's 4 Year Old Pictures

Here are a few of Mommy's favorite pictures from our photo session at Target.

Sunday School Children's Time

Here is the Sunday School Singers (not official name) at our church last Sunday, February 15th. We sang, and played, "There's A Little Wheel". It's a song all about having music in your heart. I played the guitar that Mommy and Daddy got me for Christmas. Cool, huh?!

There's No Business like Snow Business...

Boy has it ever snowed here this winter. Here are a couple pictures of Eva and I playing in the snow.

People we love...

Tomorrow is Valentine's Day and Mommy suggested that we write about all the people we love. I suppose there are many people in our lives that give so much to us: time, love, patience. All the things that help us to become wonderful people in this world.

Outside of our family (too many to list actually), we love the Crombez sisters (and Mommy Mary), Uncle Joe, Uncle John, and Aunt Dana.

Mommy always tells us: All you need is LOVE!

HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY!

making a case for Mister Rogers

On Friday the local PBS station did not play Mister Rogers' Neighborhood at 12pm. Eva and I have become very fond of the Mister Rogers' show for a long time now. Eva's first real word was "bubble" from watching the Mister Rogers' opera: Windstorm in Bubbleland. So we were both very upset that Mister Rogers was not on the TV to watch after lunchtime. Mommy was quite upset too.

The show is on today (thankfully), but Mommy is now a part of an organization to bring the program back to other PBS stations. Check it out: Save Mister Rogers' Neighborhood

Mommy has many childhood memories of the show, and Fred Rogers is her idol. He was a musician, a teacher, a humanitarian, and a pastor. He is someone to look up to, and Mommy thinks he is the best. Eva and I do too!
