Tiny Dancer

Isabela is becoming quite the little dancer. We started her in ballet and tap a little more than a year ago, and she is really enjoying it and looking forward to Saturday mornings. Of course, it doesn't hurt that her teachers at Rocky Mountain School of Dance are rock stars! This is her preparing for her Christmas recital to Silent Night.

It's great to be a girl!

If you have girls, you see a lot of these things: pink, glitter, lipgloss, pink, princesses and pink. When Bela (my oldest daughter) tried on the biggest size available in these fabulous skirts, I realized how fleeting this moment is. There very well may be a time when my girls dress in all black and shun their beloved pink. There will inevitably come a time when their princess dolls are put away in boxes, and they trade in the glitter for a more conservative lip color. So let's all celebrate girliness, frills, glitter, tiaras, fairies and of course, pink -- while we can.

I hope you enjoy the pictures of my beautiful girls. Those of you on my Christmas card list need to act surprised when these pictures show up on your card.

Megan & Evan Update

Just heard from our bride Megan (below). Surprise, surprise! It's supposed to rain every day of their honeymoon in Mexico!

Megan & Evan, Aug. 15, 2008

They say that rain on your wedding day is good luck. I wonder what kind of luck it is if you have a rained out engagement session. Then, as if that weren't enough, you have a downpour right before your ceremony, a rainbow, snow in August and a little sun all on your wedding day. I'm no fortune teller, but I'd say a lifetime of good luck is headed your way. Megan and Evan got married at Devils Thumb Ranch (one of our favorite places), and despite all the weather, they were the laid-back, fun couple they've always been, which makes them so darn lovable. We love you guys! Here's to sunshine on your honeymoon!
