Double First Day

On September 7th, Macy had her long-awaited first day of preschool and dance class.


She has been so excited for school this year and was counting down the days until she could see Miss Debbie (or, as Macy pronounces it, "Stebbie") again.

She was also excited for ballet class, though she did inform me that she already knows how to dance. She insisted that the pose below is what ballerinas do. So, she may be able to learn a few things after all.

Summer 2011- Part 2

we went to the reservoir 2 or 3 times with cousins 

We visited IKEA, the aquarium, the zoo and the park all more than once

Despite Macy's cast and then Julia's bandages we had a great summer!

Julia's Accident

Julia burned her little hands on the oven door.  It was heartbreaking.  She cried for about an hour and was a total trooper after that.  We had to go up to the University of Utah burn unit to have them looked at.  We had to apply ointment, keep them bandaged, and stretch her wrists and hands for two or three weeks.  We were so blessed that she healed very quickly and fully.

Leaving the doctor's office the day it happened.  Look at those sad eyes.

It happened the night before Macy got her cast off. The nurse bandaging her happened to pick matching bandages.
So they were twins for  the night.  I was afraid instacare would call child services.

She adapted to the bandages quickly and didn't let them slow her down much.
