Build A Bear

In preparation for Auntie's eminent departure back to California, we took Dana to Build a Bear so they could make a special friend for Dana to love when she is missing her Auntie. Dana picked a monkey, dressed in a Hello Kitty outfit, and named "BabyAuntieDanaCaleb" (all her favorite names squished together). Erinn recorded a special message for Dana too.

Shopping and Splashing

We visited Stony Point Fashion Park today, to do a little shopping, Build-a-Bear, and do a little splashing in the fountain.

Washington DC Trip-- Saturday, June 21, 2008

An Orangutan playing peek-a-boo at the National Zoo.

We gave Daddy tickets to a Texas Rangers baseball game for Father's Day-- they played the Washington Nationals this weekend-- so we took a train ride up to DC, visited the National Zoo, and watched the Rangers CREAM the Nats!

Busch Gardens-- Friday, June 20th

Auntie and I took Dana to Williamsburg on Friday to do a little outlet shopping and visit Busch Gardens. This was Dana's second time visiting Busch Gardens, and she was able to enjoy so many more attractions-- she was so brave and excited to ride the rides.

Show Night at the Little Gym-- June 13, 2008

Friday was Show Night at the Little Gym. This time we got some great pictures and video of Dana performing her "routine". She didn't quite do her forward roll-- more like a sideways "egg" roll-- but she did awesome on the balance beam and on the parallel bars!

I guess it is the teacher in me-- I was SO excited to see Dana's writing really start to resemble her name! She is growing so fast-- this is just a small example of the amazing changes I see in her.

What a Clown!

This is Dana, ready for bed... ?!?
Can't bear to leave any icing behind...

Preschool Spring Concert-- June 10, 2008

Dana had her end of the year "concert" at school this week. They sang several songs, had a graduation for the Pre-K kids, and a picnic dinner for the families. Dana sang alongside Logan (her former love), then she and Caleb hammed it up after the show.
