My girl, reading....

Anyone who knows me knows that I love reading.

Like, I really love it.

Someone took this picture for me of Meagan reading.

It makes me happy.

We have come a looooong Way!

The top photo is at age 5, and the one below was around 7 months.
She has had a great year.
She is doing well at middle school and making lots of new friends, but still loyal to her old elementary friends.
She has shown great improvements in Math, which is fantastic.
Dance is still her passion and we may be moving onto a team for next year.
At times she is all teen.
At other times she is still a little girl.
I love how much she still hangs out with her siblings.
Matthew's favorite new toy is "Rocky" the pet rock she made him.
Natalie and Meagan still share lots of interests, although no longer a room.
She loves her grandparents and misses her other two grandparents very much.
I love her kind, funny spirit.

Special Weekend with the Grands

We had a special weekend.

Grandma and Papa came for Meagan's birthday.

We had a great time at dinner with Joe, Alice, the grandparents and the kids.

Andy was sick, so he stayed home.

Saturday he was a bit better, so he was able to hang out with us at Matthew's soccer game.

That night Andy and Bob went to the Daddy/daughter dance.

It was very special.

Natalie and Meagan got new dresses.

They went to dinner at Gloria's in the Domain after.

Matthew and I went to the mall with Grandma Sandi.

 He did some jumping!

 Everyone looked their best.

We had dinner at Buca de Beppo.  

Not so good, but oh well.
All in all, it was a very nice weekend.
