The week

has been a little crazy. Analese recovered from her strep throat, but my 91 year old grandmother ended up back in the hospital for her L5 compression fracture. I've been very worried about her and have not really had the heart to blog. I do have a few photos to share, though. Analese did cheer camp at The Little gym this week. I know that sounds like a strange camp for a homeschooler, but believe it or not, she was not the only homeschooler there. We are the cool homeschoolers, after all! Analese is the little blonde head right in the center of this iPhone photo. You can barely see her little face peeking out there, but she is dead center in the photo. Right next to her (on her right) is the other little homeschooler girl.



The second (last) day of the cheer camp I remembered to bring my camera. They had the coaches from the competitive cheer sqaud there, and each little girl got to be on top of the pyramid. Of course, now that I had my real camera, I took beautiful shots through the glass with the nice glare. I can tell that Analese was having fun, though. She would not do the cheerleader pose with her arms up, but she did wave at me. It was pretty cute!




I just don't know what it is about The Little gym that makes it such a photography challenge. I swear it is just difficult to get good pictures in there. I blame the lighting and the colors, not the photographer, of course.

These next couple of photos were taken last week a couple of days after Analese started her antibiotic. She wanted to go for a Jeep ride. Mariele is all into being her passenger lately. There is a small park across the street from our house that has a sidewalk all the way around it. That is where I allow Analese to ride her Jeep, since there is no car traffic there.




I got these next two photos last week before we left to go to church. My sweet babies!

Love the pictures. Cheer camp sounds so fun. Wish they would have had then when I was little.

I tried the Julian Exercise video this afternoon.... it kicked my butt. I was breathing hard forever it seemed. FWWW!!

The last two pictures are just.too.PRECIOUS! Oh my goodness, they are just adorable. I personally love Mariele in that little bumblebee dress. I saw it at Kohl's and contemplated getting it, and I think it's perfect for your little girlie.

The pictures of them in the Jeep together are so cute too. You can tell they are such little buddies!

I hate all of my Little Gym photos, too... it must be the ugly mustardy and red walls and the glare of the glass! Love the cheer camp photos! I might consider that for Autumn when she is old enough! Love the Little Gym!! Your girls are so cute! I will keep your Grandmother in my prayers, Mel!

I love those last two photos!! What's the secret of your photographic success? I'm sure the beautiful girls don't hurt.
