The week after camping we took
a little trip to Atlanta. GA. We visited friends and relatives. Thanks to Cora and Andrew for their hospitality, they have a lovely home and great (fun)kids. We had a great time, although despite having the camera in my purse I forgot to take it out and take pictures. I didn't get a single picture the whole weekend!
Since then it has been
business as usual. Playing with Courtney, tending to a veggie garden and
Baba is back in school. When you spend two weekends away there is
a lot to catch up with at home. We are looking forward to a visit from Aunt Kat and Uncle Pate and a hockey tournament in Charlotte, in June. And in July Courtney will take six days of swim lessons. And mid August Chris will finish school.
After playing at a friend's house who had a drawer full of fancy dress up dresses Courtney wanted one of her own(darn that peer pressure!) Courtney finally got her new fancy dress after throwing a fit (screamed all the way out of the store, after I pried the dress out of her grubby hands, She was a little tired)in Target for a white dress that Mommy thought was ridiculously expensive for the quality. On a recent trip to Marshall's we found a more resonably priced dress among other things. Baba said, "At least it isn't pink." He is also comforted by the fact that when we went ice skating Saturday she want black hockey skates.
This is the Sleeping Beauty doll (photo by Courtney) that was in the adds in the DVD case that she asked Chris for.It was on clearance for only seven dollars. The dress changes colors depending on the fairy she holds. Courtney likes the movie. It is really cute to hear her try to say Merriweather.
Courtney smiling big with her new doll.
Courtney and Doll watching Sleeping Beauty movie together. I noticed last night that she has already added pretty blue lipstick (read marker) to Sleeping Beauty to make her pretty. That's my daughter. 
These are the shoes that she just had to have. I can't stand shoes that go between my toes, but once they were on (let's see if they fit) there was no getting them off.
