Stuck

Nathan is enjoying playing under the table and frequently gets himself into funny positions. The funniest part was that he was whining because he was stuck, but as soon as I brought the camera over, he started saying "Chee" and smiling for the picture. As soon as I put the camera away, he was back to whining.

Chocoholic?

Esther, upon being asked what flavor ice cream she wanted:

"Chocolate. Because chocolate matches me."

Little Dancer

Esther has been begging for dance classes for some time now and we finally found a class that fit. Having taken ballet for years growing up, I have also been excited to introduce my daughter to such a fun and beautiful art form. Today was her first class. The first half of the class they do tap and the second half they do ballet. Unfortunately, there is thick glass between the students and parents. Totally understandable, but it makes it rather hard to get any good shots. Besides, I was so emotional watching my little girl that I forgot to take any pictures until right at the end. She is growing up so quickly. And I love moments like this where I can see her on her own, making new friends, and learning new talents. And I can just sit back and enjoy it.

Cantacumber? Cuculoupe?

We learned this year that if you plant a cucumber plant and a cantaloupe plant right next to each other, you get two cantaloupes and one cuculoupe! Honestly, we ended up with a cross breed. It tasted like a blah cucumber, but the seeds looked orange like they'd come out of a cantaloupe. Very wierd.
