Dirndl Dress Up, Tatoo Arms and George...

that about sums up our day. While I attempted to organize Grace's closet - attempted being the operative word - I came upon the adorable dirndl that Grace's grandparents got for her in Germany a while back. She was a little too small for it at first, but it has been hanging patiently in her closet awaiting the day she would become big enough to wear it. Well, the day has arrived! As soon as I saw it, I had to put it on her immediately. A perfect fit. I looked at her. She looked at me. We both knew what was coming next. Pictures. Lots of them.

Aurora shoes...the perfect accessory to any outfit


Trying to look as authentic as possible


Thank you Nana, Granddad, Memaw and PawPaw!

This one here is so happy because she knows it's just a matter of time until she inherits that dress. Also, because she gets sweet potatoes for dinner tonight.

My sister is so silly!


The day didn't stop after dirndl dress up. A surprise care package arrived in the mail from Nana and Granddad containing these awesome princess tattoos. She would have preferred to have worn them all, but I managed to convince her that she had no more arm space - which is obviously true - and that we would ink an entire new arm palette tomorrow.



Last, but certainly not least, George May. Aka Ulysses George Alexander "UGA" May-Losin. Losin because he has been staying with my parents, who so graciously took him in "just for a couple of weeks" (um, in February 2009) while I was pregnant with Bonnie and desperately in need of a dog hair-free home. As it turns out, it was love at first sight, and they have been kind enough to let him stay indefinitely. He vacations at our home when my parents have plans, and we are happy to have have him back with us for a while.

"What the...get this ring off my arm!"


"A-ha! Now you're in big trouble!"


Guess we won't be using the ring at the pool this summer
