A new dress

I had to show off my most recent project since its been ages that I tried to sew anything successfully. I promised her a pink and purple dress and luckily she loves it (for now)! Below I tried to capture her in the steps of doing a twirl...







Ballet anyone?



Amara is a bit more interested in waving to camera than doing the moves, but hey...she's having fun.

Bedtime

"Mama, I'm going to be good tonight..." (smiles) "...even though I might forget and be bad."

Amara meets Princess Amerah

Amara went to a princess b-day party at the zoo. There she got to meet Princess Amerah, and it was true love...they both have practically the same name, they both love pink and purple (can you tell?) and they both like tigers. Can you believe it?!





Spring!

Another cool playground!

I miss you Grandpa Bobby!





Splashing around in Palm Springs






Amazing Hummingbirds


This is Amara holding out a red flower and patiently waiting for the hummingbird to come drink its nectar...it never did :-)

Amara checking out the hummingbird nest...very careful not to touch. 
Wow! Amazing shot - photo credit: Barbara Pallari

Little Stinkers

We all had dinner together after going 0-3 on two swimming pools and another restaurant...needless to say, I think everyone was tired and hungry. AKP summarily refused to look at the camera and the boys were in a period of calm before the storm...still fun to see everyone!

I Heart You

Amara painting her own 'heart' plate at the local pottery store...we're looking forward to seeing how it comes out once it's fired. Maybe we'll add an 'after' picture soon...stay tuned.


A princess party



Amara went to her first (maybe last??) princess party several weeks ago. I forgot about the pictures since I only took them on my phone, but here's a couple pictures of the event...good times :-) One's a little blurry, sorry.
