Keddi's 12th Birthday

Joel decided long ago that he wanted to get the girls fine jewelry on significant birthdays. The 12th birthday is the first one and they get a necklace. He writes them a letter that has research about the special properties of their stone and also about their own special qualities.

 So far, three of the girls have their necklace. 

2013 Prom

I wanted some pictures of Tersa before her date came to pick her up for Prom. So we went out on the patio. Keddi was watching Anarya outside and at one point Anarya started pitching a fit about something.

Tersa's expression went from this, to showing me the look on Anarya's face.

Just before going in, the air conditioner turned on and Tersa thought her dress would look cool if she stood on it. So, she tried it.

 She wasn't comfortable pinning the flower on Jackson so she pretended and then I did it. 

(I pinned it a little too high.)

Beauty and the Beast

Melissa told Joel that she and some friends had bought some tickets and they couldn't come and asked if we wanted tho buy them. So, I took the little girls to see Beauty and the Beast at the Smith's Center. They loved it.

Little bitty ol bug

She wasn't bothered at all by the roly poly she let crawl all over her hands, but when I asked her to look up at me, she squinted in the sun.

Not quite done

I woke her from her nap today. I guess she just wasn't quite done.
