Elena Dale is frustrated that her parents still enjoy setting up scenario's where it looks like I'm doing something beyond my years (like checking facebook) when it's obvious I'm just to young / still just getting over myspace

Last Day of "Baby" DayCare / Addison Ross





Elena is quickly becoming a big girl.  She is moving on from the infant daycare room to the room with all the shakers and movers.  Elena's friend Addison, our old next door neighbor, is sadly moving on as well, but to a whole new daycare. This was their last day together as daycare buds - Addison's mom Jennette surprised us with some BFF (Best Friends Forever) matching outfits and had a little photoshoot.  We'll miss you Addison!  Hope to see you soon.  
Give 'em hell!

Baba Bistra came to town over the Halloween holiday weekend to spend time with Elena.
We went out to the BOO BASH Friday night with some friends and partied it up while Baba and Elena had some quiet play time.  On Halloween we all got dressed up,  visited some family and friends, carved some pumpkins, made some pumpkin seeds, blasted some Mike Jackson, passed out candy and of course....scared the local children.  Elena was the cutest little Lady Bug... or as we say... Leni Bug.   Next year Elena will hit the streets for some true trick or treat action.

Gap Model Photoshoot

We have been preparing for this day for so long... Elena's chance to be a baby GAP model (see previous post with "GAP" sweater photoshoot with Lila Shea)! I found out about this contest Oct 4th and the deadline was the 9th, so I didn't have much time. These pictures are super cute, but Jason didn't think they were GAP worthy, so I didn't submit them. He thought she I shouldn't have put her in blue bc she looked like a boy. We'll try again next year and by then she will have more hair and I can put bows in it!
GOOD LUCK LORNA AND LORELEI! We voted for you guys!

Trip to Lake Huron - Port Austin, Michigan

This past weekend we went to Port Austin, MI with the Dale family as a gift to Jason’s mom for her birthday. We had a wonderful time and had great beach weather! It was very hot and sunny. Best of all the grandkids had a chance to hang out together and play. Elena and Lila are finally at similar stages where they can interact with each other, which was fun to see. They are going to be the best of friends as they grow up… 2 blue eyed beauties!!! Please enjoy these few pictures:




Two Homegirls – Wuz up?!

Playtime!




Poor baby Max is like “WHERE IS MY MAMA?!!”
