Well, work has been crazy as has life, so my blogging slacked big time. I have not blogged since AUGUST!?!
But I have pumped out a few posts since then and will try and back track some.
My fan base is small (hi Mom and Dad)...but loyal. And one day, when I miss the noises that rings in our hallways today, something tells me I will pour over these pages to hear her laughter.
Working on bike riding...she mastered it on...

and she hasn't looked back!
FIRST RIDE ALONE!
Basketball! This was our first time to play basketball. She's super quick and loves defense. It took a while to get the gist of the game, but she made great improvements for sure!
Papa worked with her after school and made good progress. Notice whose number she has on :)
Ms. Wilhelmson came to watch a game!
We had several people come watch her this season, both sets of grandparents and uncles/aunts and cousins! She was a little nervous but loved the support.

Maddie and I slipped away to the mall one weekend to find her a dress for the upcoming Daddy Daughter Dance.
And then...
The DADDY DAUGHTER DANCE!
This year they headed out to a church sponsored dance at The Light of the World church (a church two of her best friends attend)

She was praying Daddy did not forget her corsage...he did not disappoint!

She wanted her hair straight for her big night. So straight we did.
And there goes my hearts.
It was a fun night, clearly!
The one picture I got sent that night! Boo
Madelyn, Maren and Nora, her two besties.
Out of the heels, and into tennis shoes. Park Day.


And what weekend is complete without a crafting project?
