Success!

, Hanging upside down in the backyard is what summer is all about...

The pride on my little girl's face as she achieves something she has worked so hard at is what being a mama is all about...

And the happiness on her face is what childhood is all about.

I really enjoy reading Tuesdays Unwrapped at Chatting at the Sky and I hope you will too.

Moments like this make me realize not only am I doing *something* right, but I also am extra blessed to have this wonderful little girl in my life. Seeing her immersed in a book when she has her choice of activities...well, it warms my heart.

I love you more than you will ever know, sweet girl.

Feverish Girl

Yesterday and today, my day has looked like this...
...a sweet five year old girl with a 104 degree fever. She had three ballet recitals over the weekend and ended up catching the mystery bug that felled numerous other students over the course of the weekend.

More about her recital later...for now, I have a sick baby to take care of!
