Beauty Queen

Here's an old photo from our Disney trip of Mary Clare after she was made up to look like one of the Disney Princesses. Roger just brought it home from the office and I finally had time to scan it into my photos. too cute! She had a great time and still talks about it all the time. She is already planning her next birthday party - a few months away. I can't keep up - I don't know which princess to focus my attentions on! And Erin is not being left out - she insists she wants an Elmo party, despite the fact that I have already bought the supplies for a Teddy Bear Picnic party! oh well -- he can be the special guest.

Our garden continues to go gangbusters --

especially the foxgloves.

Here are Mary Clare and Erin reinacting a scene from Sleeping Beauty in the front yard. Mary Clare finished school last week and will have 3 weeks of camp in a few weeks. Other than that, I am really looking forward to spending the summer with both girls. They both will be in school next year -- which I am actually a little sad about. These days with the two of them home with me all day are so sweet and I feel as though they are going to be over much too quickly. So I have lots of fun planned for this summer!
