Happy Birthday Sailor!

5 years ago we were blessed with the most precious, beautiful, life changing, and attitude bearing little girl in the world. Every day with her has certainly been an adventure and although the adventures seem to be getting more challenging year by year, we wouldn't have it any other way. For Sailor's 5th birthday not just any old party would do, after all, we are dealing with a princess here, so she requested a princess tea party. And again, not just a regular tea party. She decided she wanted one with real dishes, tea cups, and flower arrangements, in other words, a tea party for her royal highness. All I can say is thank goodness for Goodwill! She invited several little girls from her class and told each one to come dressed as their favorite princess, they were all absolutely precious. Sailor had a fabulous party, got wonderful gifts and overall had a day fit for a queen! Happy Birthday Ducky, we love you so much!

Stomp the Floor

Last Saturday was Sailor's dance recital. Friday morning she woke up in tears and complaining that her ear was hurting, so as soon as the pediatrician opened up we were down there to be seen. Turns out she had a double ear infection, first ear infection in years, and on the day of dress rehearsal and the day before her recital. Needless to say, I was in a total panic! Luckily we got her started on an antibiotic and although she missed the dress rehearsal, by Saturday morning she was good as new. Sailor's class had two dances in the recital, one ballet and one tap. She did such a great job! I wasn't able to get as many pictures as I would have liked, they didn't allow photography during the recital, and since I helped out backstage I also didn't have much time.
