I took Riley this morning to her first ballet class, ever. Finally, all these tutus are going to get some real use! We looked at 3 different schools before choosing this one, Ms. Carol Wei (thanks, Katie!), and it is perfect. Not too nursery-school style (one was totally sing-song, duck-duck-goose style), not too rigid (one requires tight buns in the hair for the 3-year-olds), not a severe dress code (one requires only pink everything and no tutus), and just perfect.
Riley was shy for the first 10 minutes, and wouldn't put her ballet slippers on. Then she started to participate, then she started smiling, then she came over and asked to put her slippers on. Definitely a hit. Check it out.
Last Sunday, we spent another family day together... we went north! Planned on lunch at the Pelican Inn, and then Muir Woods, but we got to Pelican Inn, we realized the only lunch was a $25 buffet, which we weren't in the mood for, so we continued north to Olema. Found one of our favorite spots, and stopped there. Riley had fallen asleep in the car, and continued to sleep until the food came.
On the way home, we decided to stop for the gorgeous sunset in Stinson Beach. Riley met a little friend and had a load of fun getting all sandy and having the biggest popsicle EVER. She couldn't even finish it.
The Batori ladies had haircuts today... Quinn's first haircut! Check out these little beauties...
And here is Riley in a new Chloe's Closet outfit (yes this is the website I designed), at the Vicente Playground this week. We've been having truly amazing weather.
My parents, on the other hand, have not had the best weather in PA (thank goodness they're in Florida!). Tons and tons of snow this winter.... This is my dad's (former) warehouse where he keeps all his tools, supplies, and TRUCKS (let's make that FLAT trucks)!! Thank God for retirement??
And here's a big shout out to my 'ol buddy from high school, Rich David. He had a massive heart attack two weeks ago, and is finally going home today from Allegheny General, with a temporary heart, awaiting a transplant. My God, Rich, you are a strong man. Best wishes to you, and next time I am home, we WILL work out a get-together!! Without fail... this time was WAY too close. And I promise to find those Super Lawyer stories. xoxoxo
