Was she really this small?

Was Amy ever this small? It is hard to imagine. She has "moved up" 5 times in pre-school. She has been given the green light by her swim instructor to progress to "eel" level. She gets up from the kitchen table to get ketchup from the refrigerator on her own now. She does her own intricate hairstyles using multiple pony tail hair bands and barrettes. She writes letters and draws recognizable pictures. She can even hold a hula hoop up for a spin or two. Time flies.

Boardwalk Art Show with the family

So nice to have Mom, Linda and Michel down! Amy was much more desirous of the ocean than the boardwalk art show. Only problem was we didn't have our bathing suits on. Amy was the kid swimming in panties. I was the one swimming in see-through white shorts. Oy vey. But it was delicious.

If you know our neurotic yorkie, Chuckey, you will understand how miraculous this photo is of Chuckey chillin' on Amy's lap.

Bon Voyage Mom, Linda and Michel. Linda, you dog! Going to China................

My baby is jumping off the diving board!

This afternoon was amazing. Sorry no pix from today. The pool pix were yesterday. What was amazing is how much fun I had with my maturing daughter on the beach. Weather was stellar. Husband was sawing wood. Amy and I walked in search of shells forever. She was so into it. We then enjoyed the delicious bay together and she was so brave and full of glee. We then found sleepy daddy and the beach adventure was over.

Preciousness

Grandma,

You better get down here! Ga-ga has your place on the boat.
