Preschool graduation

On Monday Vanessa had a little "Moving Up" ceremony at preschool.  Our girl has graduated from the 2-year old program and is on to bigger and better things.  In other words...big-girl three year old class as she puts it.  It's funny because I think before I was a parent I might have rolled my eyes and said 'ohhh graduation, huh' not fully understanding the big-to-do.  I got that it was pretty cool and pretty special to be getting "bigger" and moving past things, but I think until it's your own little baby you don't really see the big picture.  We saw it on Monday.  It was pretty funny still.  Rather than moving up anywhere real, the kids slid down a slide in a sort of ceremonial way.  Notice Daddy's special tie in our little family pic (Roman was in the playroom).  It's a Vanessa original, made in preschool just for Father's Day.  He wears it proud  ;-)

A very pink Three

A little behind on some posts  :-/

June 6th came and went nearly as fast as the last three years seemed to have!  We celebrated Vanessa's birthday with none other than a Pinkalicious party.  Her request.  To anyone who doesn't have a little lady in the house, Pinkalicious is a series of books about a little girl who loves...yup you guessed it...PINK.  The original story is about her eating too many pink cupcakes and turning pink.  I have read that book so many times I am certain I could recite it in my sleep.  For four weeks all I heard about was how Vanessa wanted a Pinkalicious party, so of course that's what my girl got.  The only "too bad" was that all the little girls we know who could have joined in the fun live so far away (boo).  Happy Birthday Vanessa!!
