THE PIANO PLAYERS


Our days are usually jammed packed with stuff to do. Today was no different. However we do take time out to enjoy ourselves. This aftertoon Erin was available for a short get together with Mimi. As you know, Mimi has been taking lessons for several months now but what you don't know is that for the past couple of weeks, Janet has been giving private lessons to Erin at home. Janet was a piano teacher at one time before having babies. She does play for private parties at this time. So I thought that it would be a great idea if the girls played for each other. So they did.

By 3:30 pm it was time for Erin to go with her mom to swim lessons. Even though for the most part Mimi has stopped taking naps, there are occassions when I can tell she is really tired. I cannot use the "n-a-p" word anymore cuz then she will get irritated and say "N-O mom! Do you know what that means?!?! It means NO! I'm NOT TIRED!" However when I tell her to lie down she says "OK" then proceeds to go lie down on her bed and eventually fall asleep. Go figure. So that's what happened this afternoon before her gymnastic class this evening. She sang "The Girls of Rock and Rollll-ugh (from Alvin and the Chipmunks around the world cartoon) to herself and soon she was asleep for the next 2 hours.

ONE COOL CHICK


BACK AND FRONT


First you see the back end and now the front. This is a picture of Ben (6), big brother David and Mimi (5). At first we thought that we would be the only family there with a kid and so did Ben's family. We were sure happy that Ben came along with his family. The kids just loved having big brother David there too. Not sure if David will be coming this year to our camping get together but I heard it through the grapevine that Ben will be there. That will sure make Mimi happy.



LAST YEAR CAMPING TRIP


While looking at our friend Tom's facebook last night, I found that he had posted quite a bit of pictures of our camping trip last year at Ohanapecosh which is at Mt. Rainier. I must ask him for a copy of all his pictures as they came out grrrrreat! Plus the fact that we had the camera but NO MEMORY CHIP!
