Bekah our Beautiful Ballerina

My youngest daughter has advanced into toeshoes! This is and exciting occurance. The girls in the foreground are younger than the 4 with the new shoes, but can you see the anticipation on their faces? They can't wait for their turn!

Bekah's teacher is the sweetest and took extra time with them fitting, teaching us mom's how to sew on the elastic and ribbons. Then tying them just right! Thanks Heather!

We are proud of Bekah's hard work. Especially since this has not been her most cherished class, but she continues to work hard and progress!

Go Ballerina Bekah!!

My Birthday Present Girl!

These two pictures are my favorite from Aryn's "early" years. She was only 3 weeks old in the infant picture, she was so alert and "on the ready" from day one!

This is the gift I got to take home for my 27th birthday!

Aryn was born February 6,1993 at 8:41 AM. I was in labor a whooping 2 hours. That was pretty scary for Tom and I. Micah can remember it all too. She weighed 8 lbs and 3 ozs and "layed" 20" tall.
This is the first year she ran cross country. she did great the first year....struggled, but she is always willing to try things I suggest. You don't know what you'll like unless you try!

This blog was started last Friday night, the day before Aryn's actual birthday. I was having major problems with error's everytime I tried to finish this post! It has taken 6 days and I can't get all the pictures to load in the order I want......arrgh!

I want Aryn to know how much we love and appreciate her in our family. she has a fantastic sense of humor and a great sense of empathy for others. She is a great example of striving everyday to do better and choose the right.

Happy Birthday Aryn! We love you tons, forever!!
