Ponies, Braids and Movies













It was raining the other day, so Linda got to watch her very first movie. It was Winnie the Pooh. She liked it very much! For church on Sunday she looked so cute in her skirt, shirt, and braids that I had to take a couple of pics. She was precious. And of course, you can never have too many pony pics!

The Gym







































a few cute pictures from the gym. Linda still loves coming here so much. Tonight she has ballet class. This is the last class before the parents are allowed in for the final class. I am so excited about that class! I'll take lots of video and pics.

A Day at the Beach!






















To say Linda and Ryleigh had a good time, would be a gross understatement! Those girls had an absolute blast at the beach today! We met some friends down there and stayed two hours. In previous visits to the ocean, Linda has been somewhat apprehensive about the ocean. Today she jumped right in and played and played. I had to really watch her b/c of the rip current. They were so tired at the end and are passed out now for naps.
We also met some more people who spoke French. Linda and I went up to them so Linda could practice her French. She said, "Bonjour, Je m'appelle Linda." (hello, my name is Linda) The lady asked her how old she was, which Linda didn't understand. I helped Linda say "J'ai trois ans." Linda held up her little hand w/three fingers. It was so cute. Linda asked them how are you? and she made a new friend Emily who was 5 years old. Emily was so cute. She missed her friends and asked Linda if she wanted to play w/her. In a few years if we meet someone like that we could probably start a pen pal sort of thing. Linda just did so good speaking her French and she was so cute!

A SUPER fun boat ride!





































The girls were very excited to go to the aquarium this morning and take their 40 min boat ride. If you are wondering who the other little girl in some of the pics is, it's Emma. Her mom asked me to start watching Emma part time (12-16hrs she said) for her. Today was our first day. It was interesting, just b/c I am only used to two. But Emmadoodle is just as sweet as can be, and a good kid, just like Ry. So it wasn't hard at all.
anyway, they took a boat ride and had a nice time. We also met our playgroup there. The one pic is Linda w/Captain Moose, the boat's captain. After the ride all three girls kept saying, "That was a SUPER fun boat ride!" It was cute.

The Gardens!





































We had a BLAST at the Gardens today! The weather was nice and warm. The girls played in the fountains for about 1/2 hr. Then we went off to explore. The century plant hasn't bloomed quite yet, but in the pic you can really see how huge this plant is. The gardens are nice and green and many plants are in bloom. Linda had fun being out in the sun in her favorite place to go! I took some pics of a couple goslings b/c they were just so cute all grey and furry. Mama Goose kept a close eye on me the whole time though. Enjoy the pics. It is so wonderful to be able to stay home w/my little princess!

A girl and her dog











I let Linda walk Copper for the first time today. She was just a beaming! I guess b/c it was something new to her. Copper on the other hand, was not beaming at all. He did not appreciate Linda walking him. Several times he would stop and pull back just like a horse does w/their reigns when being walked. It was so funny. I captured one of those in a pic. The last pic is where Copper really wants to be all the time, in his mommy's arms b/c he is a mama's dog. We are blessed to have him in our lives. He has been such a kind and loving dog to Linda. Toby could care less. We know this, so Linda is not allowed to touch Toby. Toby couldn't be happier!

yes, I know she's weird





It struck me as funny to see her eating a huge piece of broccoli, so I took some pics of her. She does enjoy her veggies, lol.
