Allee's Review

When we moved here I wanted to keep dancing in Allee's life. It is something she enjoys and I figured it would be a good constant in her life. I signed her up at the local dance studio called By Grace. She did tumbling and dance although tumbling was her favorite.

June 5th was her review and she was adorable. She loves being on stage and all of the

glitz and glam that goes along with it. We are so proud of her and all of her improvement this year.

She is our little STAR and we sure love her.

Tooth Fairy

Allee was so excited to finally loose her first tooth. It has been wiggly for months and the last week of May I knew it was going to fall out at any minute. On Friday the 28th she and I wiggled that thing like crazy and we could even turn it completely around, but it wasn't coming out. We finally gave up and sent Allee to bed.

Saturday morning she came in our room WAY too early to tell us she, "just wiggled it with her tongue and it came right out!" She was so excited.

Her Gra had made her a special pillow to hang on her bedpost to put her tooth in, and the next morning the tooth fairy had left her, "A PAPER MONEY!!!" What a funny girl.

Fireflies

Now that we live in Missouri we are so excited to see fireflies. They are the most interesting and beautiful little bugs. One night when we were out on a walk they started coming out so Derek and the kids ran around the neighbors yard and caught a couple. We were all fascinated. I had no idea what they looked like and they really are ugly bugs in the light, but THIS is what they look like in the woods behind our house . . .

MAGICAL.
