Chris, Tamara, and Katelynn: September 2012

Katie loves to play with our "adopted" kitty. She's our neighbor's cat but comes over here all the time to play with Katelynn. Our neighbor let Katelynn and I name her. We gave her the name of Serena.

Katie loves to hold up long grass pieces or strings for Serena to swat at.

Katie and I bought a birdhouse from Michaels to paint. Katie wanted to paint it rainbow colors.
It turned out very pretty.

Katie's dance class had a dress rehearsal the week before her spring dance recital. Here is her class posing for a class picture.

Grandma and Great Grandma came to watch Katie's dance recital.

Here we are waiting for the show to start.

Her class's theme was Aladdin. They danced to two Aladdin songs: A Whole New World and A Friend Like Me. The dance performances were wonderful. Katie did such a great job! She loves to dance!

Loves those eyes!

Katie loved getting a rose from daddy and mommy after the performance.

Here we are with our little dancer.

Our little princess.

Here are our friends Josh and Shanda with their little dancer Evala. She stole the show at the end of their class's performances. Their class's theme was Winnie the Pooh. The class was hopping across the stage like Tigger for a ways and then they walked the rest of the way off the stage. Evala hopped almost the whole way off the stage all by herself. So cute!

Daddy took Katie to Parade America. Katelynn loved this float from Childrens Store. She wished she could have the stuffed animals.

We had a fun going away party for my brother Stillman and his wife Michelle and their kids Alex and Jayden. They moved for a job promotion. We sure miss them.

Here is Katie on the last day of kindergarten.
