Letters of the Alphabet

Bubbe, Bella and Eilidh's crazy summer project was to take alphabet photos on the beach. We're missing a few, but we'll hopefully fill in the blanks soon!

May Adventures and Reflections with Bubbe

The photos on this post are ones that my mom took when she was visiting. Fun times!

My mom's birthday party-turned lady get together: Sara Bruce, Balika, Peggy Smith and Kim Phillips.

A surprise visit from Liz!

Our road was notoriously terrible- my mom decided to make a study of them and view them as art. I kinda like it!

looking for treasures on the beach glass beach... the old military dump means there is always something good to collect!

Subsistence salmon trip- not successful, but fun!

Cinderella Ballet Recital 2011

The girls' recital this year was Cinderella.... and of all the years, this was the least stressful and the most fun. It helped having mom not working- there was just a lot more energy available to get through rehearsals and such. It also helped having wonderful girls and wonderful dances. Our little blue bird and mouse were very happy...

Our friend Stuey, otherwise known as 'show stealer'.

Eilidh and Bella with their dance teacher (and Bella's 'daddy' in the Lion King) & prince, Askar. If Bella can't marry daddy, she'll marry him, she's said...

Happy 8th Birthday Eilidh!

Eilidh fell in love with Morocco this year, and to share this experience with her friends she decided she wanted a Moroccan birthday party. We made tagine & couscous and a yummy nut/ honey/ phyllo dough snake cake. We had fun decorating and cooking, but most of all enjoyed some wonderful quality time with good friends!
