During Dance Camp

So glad that I was able to capture this sweet moment when I arrived to pick the girls up from dance camp today. xo

Postcard Swap

We are so excited to be part of the postcard swaps that KC over at Olive and Owl has organized. KC has organized one for mamas and has also organized one for littles. While we were at the hospital on Monday for Dave to get his wound (from his accident this past Saturday with an ax) checked I thought that would be the perfect time for us to work on our postcards. Thanks, KC, for organizing these swaps! We had a lot of fun with it and it was the perfect way to pass the time! xo

At The Butterfly Garden

Last Friday brought a much looked requested trip to The Butterfly Place. It was a spur of the moment thing and we were so happy to have our best friends along on this adventure! It was a lovely day to be at the garden. Not too packed (as it's a small space) and lots of butterflies to see. The girls were quite intrigued by the man who was putting chrysalises from outside the USA into quarantine. "What is he doing to them, mama?" In addition to the butterflies there were sweet quail scurrying about, and a praying mantis to observe. The icing on the cake was seeing a glorious orange butterfly land on Grace's lovely blue headband. What a prefect ending to a lovely visit! xo

Dance Camp Begins

And so it begins! The long awaited week of dance camp has finally arrived. Our tiny dancers were so excited that they could barely focus on breakfast this morning! Have a wonderful time, girls! We cannot wait to hear all about it your first day! xo

Blessing Of The Paddles And Pedals

Last year our beloved church held a Blessing of the Animals. This year they decided to hold a Blessing of the Paddles and Pedals. While there were a few boat owners in the crowd today, sadly no boats present this morning. There were, however, a few bikes that rolled in and they were blessed by all of the boat owners and our Senior Minister. Thank you, Plymouth Church, for always coming up with such wonderful events and services! xo

In Search Of The Queen

Heard while checking out the bee exhibit at Old Sturbridge Village today:

Grace: "Let's find the queen!" 

Emma (very matter-of-fact while searching): "She has a tiny crown!" 

And wouldn't you know these two sweet girls found the queen and she did indeed have a tiny crown! Not a crown crown like my friend Sharon and I pictured when we heard this, but a little yellow dot on top of her head. I love how much I learn from my girls! xo
