Eloise and Alan have started going to a little French school on Saturday mornings. Eloise loves it and giggles and sings the french songs at home, but she's slowly warming up to participating in class. This past Saturday, the kids could come in costume (she went as a bee since it was a less cumbersome costume than the chicken that is planned for Halloween night). They even serve fresh pain au chocolat....mmmmm, mmmmm!
We were all invited to my niece's "Pink" birthday party. We wore our best pink party clothes-Grandma even arrived in a pink gown (one of my old bridesmaid's dresses....see you can wear those things more than once!).
HAPPY 3RD BIRTHDAY, EMMA!
Life has finally started to slow down and we love it! Laying around is one of our favorite new past times!
Eloise passed out the hats to liven up our floor party.
Daddy was given a hat too! I think Eloise can really discern one's style.
You're bored? Here, chew on this-it's all that I can reach.
Alan is perfecting his technique of feeding laziness. How little effort can I exert to feed the baby? I cannot possibly sit up right now.
The girls received these beautiful dresses from my sister-in-law's parents when Margot was born. I loved them so much that I wanted to save them for an opportunity to have the girls' pictures taken. Well, it was getting chillier and I had not made it happen, so with the help of my mom I took them to a cute area and tried to take pictures myself. It wasn't exactly successful. These first 3 are the best pictures of the two of them together. Hopefully, the dresess will still fit in the spring and we can try again!
Of the 200+ pictures that I snapped, there were 32 pictures like this....of the back of Eloise while she was running away. She was absolutely not interested in smiling for the camera or posing with Margot AT ALL!
Isn't she lovely?
