Happy Birthday Eva!!!

Eva had a very pinkalicious birthday!  We had pink art, pink food, pink clothing... that is until she unwrapped her new blue tutu... 

She had Dede, Papa, Gramma Pat, Pa, Rex, Jim, Fabene', and Charles attend her Soiree'.  Eva is greatly enjoying her new playthings (and so is El!).  Pa is still here enjoying our 80 degree weather.   We will be sad when he and Gramma Pat depart, however, the next day we will be great as cousin Katie is visiting us for Spring Break!!!

Gramma Pat and Pa have been visiting this week and we have been busy!  The grandparents get up and take El to school each morning.  Pa picks El up in the afternoon and they go to get a "snack".   

Eva was inspired by El's performance in the spelling bee.  In this video she continues to make sure El is on her toes!

Spelling Bee

El was in the Spelling Bee at school.  She did a wonderful job!  

She does seem to be a magnet for the hardest words.  This was her first round word.

Who are you?

Eva is branching out! She is still a black dog, but has been named Sleeping Beauty and Carmella over the past couple of days. She enjoyed art class at Gymboree today.

Black Lelly

This is El's dog, Lelly.  Eva has a toy dog she named Pink Lelly.  She then proceeded to coin a new name for Lelly.  She is now known as Black Lelly.  

Eva has no lack of imagination.  She now is also Black Lelly on most days.  If you happen to make the mistake of calling her Eva, you will quickly (and loudly) be corrected that she is Black Lelly!  

Current Events

That concludes the history lesson and brings us to my big girls. They are running to the Christmas tree in this photo. Next big event is Eva's Pinkalicious Birthday (Video Invite at the bottom of this blog).

More history

The next thing you know my little Elyse is a big sister.  She is a wonderful big sis!  There is a lot of sister love in our home. 

And off to school she goes!

A little more history

El is growing to be quite artistic.  

A little history

This is Elyse "El" many years ago.  It seems like yesterday and at the same time feels like 100 years ago.  She was such and sweet baby and grows sweeter each year!

A Pinkalicious Birthday

It is almost here... Eva's Pinkalicious 3rd Birthday!  This was the real catalyst to my entry into blogville.  I hope you enjoy the video invitation.  It is difficult for me to believe that my baby is already 3.  The second child seems to grow more quickly than the first!
