Cailee works so hard at Gymnastics. Day in and day out – she currently practices nearly 4 hours a day – Monday – Thursday. She’s a gold level gymnast which mneans every year she has to learn new skills. This year, the big ones are the full turn, cartwheel and back walkover on the balance…
Oh wow, my little girl is ten years old. I really don’t know how that happened. I think what’s scarier is realizing how quickly the past ten years have past and knowing I have less than half that time left with my little girl at home. But we had a grand time celebrating her tenth…
Last year, we did our last hurrah before back to school at Great Wolf Lodge. But, since we have a party (or two) coming up at the Lodge we decided, very last minute, to visit some other animals. It turned out to be a great day for the zoo. The animals were out and up…

Honestly, I think I’ve lost count and I suppose I could go back and check – but this one was different. It was the first recital that we weren’t in multiple productions or any dance at all – Cailee just had her gymnastics this year. And usually it might not even be worth it to…
