Happy Valentine's To ALL of YOU. May HEARTS surround YOU and YOURS

One of my second favorite holidays. Next to St. Patrick's Day. I love Valentine's day because it symbolizes hearts, love, the color red, pink and so much more. And for all of you that know me, I can't get enough of HEARTS. Ever.
May you all enjoy this special week. Take time out of your day...to say... I LOVE YOU. Do something out of the ordinary for your special someone. Give LOTS of kisses and hugs. And do this all week! Not just on Valentine's day. Strut your stuff and act like there is no tomorrow. Appreciate one another, even though you may feel your life is in fast forward and you can't slow down. Whether it be work, home or daily stresses, take this time to take a break and appreciate all that you love.
One Sunday morning, we woke up and I asked the girls if they wanted to play dress up and they said YES. They were super excited. So we shot some photos. Even if it only lasted for about 15 minutes before they got tired, they seemed to have fun.
Enjoy the photos of the girls. We ALL LOVE YOU. And may you all have a great Valentine's week. XOXOXOXO

Tiny Dancer

For months, I have watched Isabella dance around the house. One day, I finally asked her, "Isabella, Do you want to take dance classes?" And she responded with a yes! Off to researching I went, only to find that most dance classes were during Monday - Friday at 4 p.m. Two times per week. Was not going to work for our schedule.
Then, Bob sent me a link of a place that was local and offers Saturday classes for a half an hour.
I signed Isabella up and she was required to wear a blue leotard with sequins on the back accompanied with footless pink tights. For her first class, she was totally STOKED. Before the class had begun, she went dancing around in front of the mirrors by herself. Turns out, there are 4 girls in her class. For the first 15 minutes, Isabella was very shy and to herself. The last remaining 15 minutes, she was a ROCKSTA. She really opened up to her classmates and teacher.
I am anxious to see how she progresses with each class. She seems to be very creative and fun, it just takes her a while to open up to others.
Here are few pics I snapped from the day of the class. They waved scarves, walked the beam, balanced in the line and so much more. There are quite a few competitive moms out there who are really pushing their daughters in dance.
In conclusion, I just want her to have fun. Get out of the house in the winter. Socialize. Let loose of some of her energy. Those mothers can step away from me because I just want to see Isabella have FUN....
