The Princess and the Frog!

The theme for Ainslie's ballet class this morning was The Princess and the Frog, which happens to be our favorite movie right now!  Since Daddy took a few days off of work this week, he was able to come and watch Ainslie's class!

Lunch and Legoland

All of the cousins met this afternoon to have lunch together at Harvey's in Union Station and to go to Legoland at Crown Center!  We ended the day at our house for some pizza and fun!  It was such a great way to spend a hot summer day indoors!  Daddy even took off of work to join in on the fun!

4th of July!

We spent the 4th of July holiday with lots of family and fun at Grammie and Pops' house.  We went swimming, blew bubbles, had great conversation, good food and even a few fireworks!

Play-Doh!

Ainslie and I had some time together this afternoon, so we got out the Play-Doh and made some "ice cream!"  It's these moments, when it is just the two of us, that I will cherish forever!

Princess Ballet Class!

Ainslie went to her first ballet class on Friday morning with her buddy Molly and several other two and three year old little girls. Every class is an hour long and introduces a Princess and her story.  The girls get to dress up in costume, learn simple ballet steps, do an art and craft, and dance to music!  It was so adorable, I had to post a few pictures!

Very excited for her first class!! 

Sweet girl! 

Ainslie found Molly as soon as we got to class!
