Father-Daughter Dance

Oh, what a sweet and special night. Tia was so excited and Daddy was, too. He even washed the truck before their big date. They got all dressed up and went to dinner with Axelle and her dad Daniel before the dance. Red Robin was the pick of the night. Girls' pick. :-))  From there, they headed to the dance. In the meantime, Rosie and I met my parents at the fish fry and that was fun, too. Rosie loved the mac n' cheese! Afterwards, we headed to the dance to get a "sneak peek" and take a few fun pictures. I had only gotten Mike and Tia before they left, but wanted to get the great ones from the actual dance. The girls were having a blast when I walked in. Singing, dancing and doing the "cha-cha" line. And the dads...................well, they were all visiting among themselves along the sides. One of the dads re-named the dance to the "ditch your dad" dance. Pretty cute! But they did dance a bit, enjoyed snacks and had their picture taken professionally, which is a tradition of the night, too. It's just such a special event that we are so happy to be a part of each year. A very special time for everyone.

There was a LOT of energy in the room, as you can imagine. Warms my heart to pieces. Enjoy the pictures!

St. Patrick's Day

Well, things are going great here. Tia is busy with school and 4H, along with a fun class at our local gym called Cardio Kidz. She decided to take a break from the swimming and is enjoying something different for now. We had our first cake decorating class for 4H and it went really well. She loves it and is looking forward to entering a cake into the Fair this summer.
Rosie is doing great, too. She also does a class at the gym called "Monkey and Me" and it's so good for her. She loves the other little kiddos and is also making progress physically, like with her balance, climbing, etc. She is still as busy as ever and becoming more vocal

every day. She is repeating a lot and saying more "2-word" phrases. We continue to praise God for her every day and for the fact that both of our girls are happy, healthy and HOME!
We had a fun time at the St. Patrick's day parade a couple weeks ago. Then we went to the Burger Dive for some of the best burgers ever. It's always such a fun day.
We are MORE than ready for spring, but other than that, all is good and I'll share a few pics.
The next post will be from the Father-Daughter dance which is this weekend at the school. Tia is so excited!!
