Isaac meets Los Lonely Boys

A sweet friend gave us backstage passes so Isaac could meet one of his favorite bands, Los Lonely Boys. After the meet and greet, we were able to sit in the festival's sponsor's booth where we enjoyed free food and drinks. Elia cooled off by dipping her toes in the water fountains. Isaac was on cloud nine all night. We had a really fun night out.

Date Night!

Well, I rarely blog about just the two of us, because it's rarely JUST the two of us anymore! Elia had a special bunkin' party at Nana's (thank you, Nana!!) so that we could have a worry-free evening. We had a special night out to see Creed and Staind in concert down in Dallas. We had such a good time with good friends, great music, perfect cool weather, and time together. When date nights are few and far between, you CHERISH them! We sure did.

Our Sweet Niece, Bianca

Our little dancer

Elia's personality really comes alive during her Ballet Class. She's not afraid to go against the flow, do the opposite of what the teacher is asking of the group, or stand center stage encouraging her audience to applaud her efforts. Her famous move is the superman slide on the floor, performed weekly I might add. You know you may have to explore other avenues when the teacher announces, "Well, soccer might be another option" as she watches your daughter sprint across the floor! All in all, it's been a joy to see her in her precious tutu laughing and throwing that leg up in the air. Soon enough she'll be choosing her own sport. Please Lord, let it be an indoors one!

School Days

Elia returned to The Children's Place this year to a new classroom and new teachers! Miss Sue and Miss Natalie are wonderful, and Elia jumped right in as if she'd never left for summer break.
