That Was Then / This Is Now (28)

Let's see those tongues, ladies! Coincidentally, also leg warmers!

Adventures in Daycare: Ghost Protocol

Even though Dillon is quite immersed in elementary school, we have a few stragglers from her days in daycare which I had to include, plus a few of Quinny too.

God made dirt; dirt don't hurt.

Island Girls

Graduating from preschool was the end of an era, so Dillon and her girlfriends decided to celebrate with burgers and general shenanigans at Islands. Luckily we have been able to keep in touch so she still gets to see her pals.

(L-R): Dillon, Natalia, Valeria, Bella and Layla.

A Star is Born

This post is overdue, but over the summer Dillon took a week-long ballet camp at SDCYB with her buddy Natalia. At the end of week they had a performance, which was adorable and hilarious. I parked far away and was worried I'd be late so I ran to the studio, tripped and fell, rolled, got up and kept running without missing a beat--I wish somebody has recorded that!

Flowers for a good show.

So adorable.

Dillon is teaching me to curtsy.

And now a bit of a video mash-up. I think my favorite part is how Dillon would just occasionally zone out and forget where she was. [Song is "Rodgers & Hammerstein: Do Re Mi" by the Richard Heyman Orchestra.]

Take a Hike

Sometimes it's easy to forget we live so close to the great outdoors! Here are pix from two recent outings to Mission Trails. Good for the body and soul!

Enjoying the view.

Dillon, Austin and Zeus get some free range time.
