Happy Birthday Grandma Cindy

slugs and snails and puppy dog tails...

...that's what little boys are made of

and 5..6..7..8

I took Ella and her cousin Ava to first night of dance class at Sheri's. This is Ava's second year but Ella's first. It is amazing how much her confidence has improved since kindergarten started. This summer when we talked about dance class, she loved the idea of dancing but dreaded dancing in a room full of kids she didn't know. Well now most of the girls in her class are kindergarten or preschool classmates and she had a blast and can't wait to go back next week.

Oh, and check out the crazy poses I got from these two when I asked if I could take their picture on the first night of dance.

Persimmons = Fall

Saturday, Ella and I picked the ripe persimmons at out house. Then we delivered them to Grandma Joni who made the yummiest persimmon muffins. I ♥ this cooler weather and all that comes with it.
