Under the big top

I've decided to do a few more "catch up" posts before tackling our family vacation to Hilton Head. That one's going to be another doozie...

Every summer, the girls' school puts on a "circus". It is seriously the cutest thing in the whole world. Each class has an "act", and the kids practice for it all week. Last year it was one of the first events I braved "in public" with Kate soon after she was born. This year she was in it! She loved being a "Dalmation" with her friends for the show...


Kate wasn't quite walking yet for the show, so wonderful Ms. Dianna carried her in the show. Quite the pampered pup she was!

Anna's class was the "Terrible Tigers", but between you and me, they were a little more adorable than they were frightening.

We still regularly play "Terrible Tigers" at home--both in the playroom where we can crawl around like tigers, and in the pool where she can do flips off my shoulders like an acrobat. "Circus" is certainly one of the favorite games around our house these days...
