Tap Shoes

My cousin, Tara, has a dance studio in Massachusetts. She mailed down a surprise gift of gently used tap shoes for Estelle. They belonged to one of her best dancers, so sweet.

I always wanted tap shoes, my sister and I used to tape bottle caps to our shoes to get a similar effect. Ten-year-old Stephanie would have been jealous. Fine, to be honest, 31-year-old Stephanie is currently jealous.

Do Cats Like Donuts?

We made it home from our graduation trip to Blacksburg! This morning Lola was attacking the small bag of Carol Lee donuts we saved from yesterday. I thought we should let her try…

Do not fear animal lovers, no donuts were actually ingested. She proceeded to throw up right after eating the piece of donut.

Four Head, One Head

A little while ago I asked Estelle to point to her forehead. She quickly told me that she just has one head…

She knows the difference now!

Tractor

Annie and Papa found an oldie but goodie during Estelle’s visit last weekend! You can watch the video here. She is not quite tall enough to really master the pedals, yet.

Flower Girl

Lots more photos from Titi & Rocky’s wedding to come I’m sure, but here’s some amateur video of the flower girls coming down the aisle.

Surprise Visit with the Horses!

Playing Catch

With Spring Training only a month away now, I don’t think the Phillies outfielders have to worry about competition from one Estelle Pilar…

Feliz Navidad

Recorded after Christmas, and posted way after Christmas…minor details.

Violinist

Cookie see, cookie do. Apparently Estelle saw an episode of Sesame Street where Cookie Monster played the violin, and she wanted to do the same (but with ukulele and chop stick)…
