Daily Grind

I took the girls to see Beauty and the Beast 3D. The girls liked the movie and I enjoyed reliving my childhood. I just wish it had been a sing-a-long...

Lela loves her new 3D glasses and thinks they improve all daily functions of her little life

Lela and I were dancing and she called a time-out to get all fancied up.

Lela and her friend Sam. Our winter has been more spring like this year so we've had plenty of park days.

Thula has a new hair cut!

I love her curls

The cutest sisters in Kentucky!

After nursery and a roast beef dinner Lela plopped down a pillow and blanket and fell asleep for several hours.

We didn't have a white Christmas, but we got a dusting some days later. It was so pretty, espcially since it wasn't deep enough to shovel!

The girls in their jammies. Lela's came from Zambia. When we went in 05' a lady gave it to Thula. I think Lela wears it well too!
