Another Attempt to Dress Herself

This morning Michael came running into our room asking for her Sunday shoes to go with this lovely outfit she had put together! I am always amazed at her sense of style, especially since sometimes she has a total freak out if she isn't matching from head to toe!!

Our little Princess

Isn't she beautiful! Grandma Church couldn't imagine a little girl without dress up clothes, and now we can't either! She has so much fun and dresses up in her "wedding dress" and then she asks us to marry her. The wedding consists of dancing and singing (usually - "I know you" from Sleeping Beauty) and then we kiss and she runs off to get our baby. Then we feed the baby and play house. It is quite fun!!

Summer Hiking

The week after school got out Michael, Mommy, & Daddy went hiking. Michael met moss for the first time and we also saw a chipmunk! This was a fun escape from the valley heat!

What a style she has...

Michael Anne dressed herself today and she will NOT let me change her clothes!

Poached Picture

I think this is the greatest picture, stolen from my friend's blog. Her husband is a professional opera singer and they have just moved to Mexico for a while. Anne took this photograph somewhere in Mexico, to see the original picture click on her blog... www.stuckihouse.blogspot.com She is an incredible photographer!
Someday you will understand...

Swimming Fun

Michael loves the summer and swimming is a real treat!

Happy Father's Day

This Father's Day was pretty fun. Michael Anne was especially excited to give her Daddy a special gift. One day while we were driving along a truck hauling a boat pulled up next to us. Michael said to me, "Mom, look a boat!" "Let's get Dad a boat!" While I would love to get Dad a boat it is one toy we'll have to put off for now. But Michael really wanted to get her dad a boat so she settled for a project and a card which she made all by herself (except for the cutting out of some pieces).

Summer Time Fun

Michael & I went to the park the other day. After playing and making new friends it was time for a snack. Michael brought along an apple and really enjoyed eating it. My phone takes pretty bad pictures but here one is, it was really cute.

The next picture is of Michael playing in the rain. The first few days of our summer vacation were cold, gloomy and very rainy. We got sick of it and decided to go out to play anyway!
