Get ready for picturama.  Today was a special day, I couldn't choose just one or two pictures.  We drove down to Columbus yesterday so we could come see Leanne in a play today!  She was cast as Cinderella in a children's concert put on by the Columbus Symphony Orchestra.  It was so cute and so fun!  Leanne did an amazing job!

Here is most of Leanne's fans, minus Rachel the picture taker.  

My sister came up to enjoy the performance with us.  

Along with her son Dylan, she brought my niece Michal for the occasion.  It was Michal's birthday present from her Aunt Teresa.

All us girls in the bathroom.  ;o)

Leanne on stage!  She was beautiful.  Much prettier than those stepsisters!

The fairy godmother arrived to make her dreams come true.

What a beautiful princess!

And now she has her prince.  

To finish off the night, I had to get a shot of my 12 year old....who will turn 13 tomorrow!  This is my 'baby boy'.  Oh how time marches on.

Today we drove down to Ohio and stayed overnight at a hotel.  It was nice to enjoy a change of scenery and enjoy a dip in the pool and hot tub.  :)

Emily drew a picture of Rachel and Luke today.  It looks just like them, wouldn't you say?

In our homeschool co op, I like to teach.  This semester I taught drama to 1st-3rd graders.  I find that funny.  Like they need to be taught how to be dramatic!  :P

It was a very busy day today!  A total of 7 kids were here.  4 of them were age 5 and under!  Thank goodness for the help of my teenagers.  They love kids, I'm very thankful for that and their energy.  They were all very good, but let's just say that I slept deeply that night.  ;)

Attack!

Christopher sure had his work cut out for him.  Taking on two daring swordsmen was risky, and there for a while it looked like it was curtains for him.  Until mom stepped in and took away the weapons.  Danger avoided.

What better way to celebrate Valentine's Day than holding and loving on a baby?  Leanne was out of town, so we helped out by taking care of the little ones she watches a few times a week.  Isn't little David the sweetest??
