Girls Cleaning

Emma is cleaning the Polly pockets and the dolls that go with the Dollhouse. Notice that they are drying out on the purple towel below the sink. In one of these shots I actually believe Sophia is putting away clean laundry.

Melissa the School Teacher

Melissa reads to her 4th grade class outside. That's what nice about being in Florida. Sophia looks bored, do you think she is ready for kindergarten?

Down the Hatch

Dick was here for the weekend of 4/12. We took a trip by water Taxi to a neat Restaurant on the water called "Down the Hatch" which has been at the inlet for years first as a fish camp, and now has a restaurant . The Nina and Pina reproductions were docked at Inlet hargor, so they had a big ground that was touring the boats.

Earth Day

St Paul's had a YOGA demonstation today for their Earth Day Celebration. Sophia doing her Down Dog, which is in pretty good form. Ms Sarah and Ms Jen lead the group, Ms Sarah is good at holding that Bridge position. Charlotte,, Mia, Sophi and Gabby "Four Musketeers" begin their Sun Salutations and work onto the "Tree Position" The kids really enjoyed the Yoga, Sophi has been talking about it for the last week. The teachers liked the RagDoll Position best, because the children are perfectly still lying on their backs being very calm( which was difficult for some)

KiKi in her Fav Chair

I thought my family might like to know that someone is finally sitting in Mom's Queen Anne Chair. She loves this seat and snuggles in for a nap. I hope Bette will show this to Mom to see if she remembers. (The Chair not KiKi)

Last Day @ Manatee Park

The girls opted to leave school a little early so they could spend some time with uncle Gregory, before he left for VA.

They had a picnic lunch , flew their kite, and swung on the Tire Swing.

Gregory Visits for some Sun & Fun

Although Gregory looks very white in this pic his forehead is Beet Red.

The pool was too cold for Gregory, so he spent his time in the Spa.

Emma relaxing by the pool.

Try, Try, Again

Paige helped me with attempt #2. I do believe the color of the icing was closer to the original, but it still was not fluffy. I don't know if the humidity had anything to do with that or not. Paige didn't seem to mind, as long as she was able to lick the spoon.

Spring Training --Day#2

This is our 3rd Annual Spring Training . This was a great game it was tied up until the bottom of the 7th?

Spring Base Ball Training --Day#1

This was a beautiful stadium and nicely laid out. We had great seats behind home plate. Donald Duck put in an appearance to help throw out the first ball. The weather was great warmer than the prediction, which was fine with me. Dick tossed back a few to help with the hot sun factor, while others chose to use the umbrella as a cooling device.

Before and After "The Cake"

For some reason the B'Day cake didn't quite meet my expectations this year. I even made two following slightly different mix of ingredients. Anyway about two weeks following Melissa's Birthday I found the original Recipe, so I promise I will try again when Gregory visits. Actually I am tempted to email Swan's Down and ask them to check their archives.

KiKi Visits Danny and Kathy

Kathy and Danny were nice to care for KiKi so I could catch a plane back to Florida since I had a job lined up with EJ. KiKi really loved the wide open spaces of this backyard.
