A day at the playground

Yesterday we had temps of around 60 so the Rootes Family headed out on bicycle to the playground. Grace is all set to go!

Some of Grace's school mates we at the playground too, here are my girls playing with the others.

"Daddy is it my turn yet?"

Mommy & Alison on the teeter-totter, Daddy is on the other end.

The "twins" coming down the slide.

My Sleeping Beauties

My Dear, Sweet Katy My precious Ali, or at least I think that's her (I know that's her bed).

My lovely (growing too quickly) Grace.

They are sweet when they sleep! However, they are also very funny and must be photographed.

Piano Princess

Not only is she beautiful; but she is talented too! Grace began taking piano lessons from our neighbor (has been teaching for over 40 years) exactly 1 year ago today. She plays very well and we are very proud of her commitment.

Alison's "1st Date"

On Valentine's Day Alison attended her 1st Father & Daughter Dance for Girl Scouts. This event happens every year. Daddy came to the front door and rang the bell to "pick up" his young lady; just like a real date.

Don't they make a lovely couple!

Ali & her date had a wonderful evening.

Snow Fun!!

Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow! Last week we got 8 inches of snow here in Noblesville; most of Indiana got even more. Yesterday; Grace, Alison & Daddy went out into the front yard and made this fort then enjoyed a snowball fight.

It wasn't too hard to stay out and play (for 2 hours) because it was 40 degrees yesterday afternoon. They all had great fun!

Our New Pet Kitten

What is she up to now??????????
MEOW!!!

Alison allowed Grace & her friend to create a cat face using washable (thank goodness) markers.

As I've said before, this child thrives on attention. Her grandma says "she will be on stage someday", Daddy says "no way".

Oh That Katy.......

Who doesn't love a good "ice keam comb"? As you can see Katy loves them.

Just being Katy showing off those baby blues. ;o)
