A Different Kind of Post

I've been on an adventure...did you know? Not an adventure I planned, but one I've taken nonetheless. During this adventure, there were moments of victory and hidden pitfalls that slowed me down. It may have taken more effort than it should have...in fact, it definitely did. In the end, it's those moments of victory that matter most. Like having a healthy Awesome Guy and two little redhead beauties.
Like dressing those little redhead beauties in embellished outfits...a bit of embroidery and a vintage linen tea towel.

And letting them know that any time is a good time to wear a fancy hat.
Like having such good friends that not only understand this principle, but can also share two of the most enjoyable hours with you among old and dusty treasures.
And teaching these fairly new treasures, that no matter what, every girl deserves to be treated like a princess.
We are all on adventures. Sure, there are pitfalls. Sometimes they are hidden and surprise you completely. Don't let them stop you...you never know what victorious moment is just ahead. With moments like that, surely there must be angels among us. :)

What's your latest moment of victory?

How I Spent My Summer Vacation- Part One

Hey Girls! Madeline Mae here posting while Mom is over there with her tongue stuck out- she's concentrating on painting some 3D girls! I thought you might want to see some pictures from our vacation to California! I was pretty good for being such a little baby and traveling so long in the car, if I do say so myself. Our first stop was Big Bear Lake...isn't it pretty? There is so much to do there too! Fishing, skiing, antiquing, and more! We stayed in a cabin there for 3 days! I especially liked rolling the billard balls under the couches and making the grown ups get them. I played a lot with my Grandma & Grandpa Shim too!
Sissy had a great time throwing shoes for horses? I don't get it. She loved it though!
Me? I prefer Ping Pong! Daddy and Shim played for a long time...Daddy picked up A LOT of balls. The paddles are so yummy! Mommy thought it was gross and wiped it down for me!

This is the alpine slide...you get to ride a chair lift up to the top and then race down to the bottom. Sissy was scared at first, but once she figured out the brakes, she had a blast.
I may be an adventurer, but they said I was too little to go down the slide...I watched them very closely. By the way, I'm shoe fanatic...don't you just love these?! They are my favorite!
Mommy made some things while I had some quality time with Grandma and Grandpa Shim. This is a fairy house so that the fairies can go on vacation too! We left it at the cabin.

She painted this outside on the porch... Sissy and Grandma painted too! The long red hair is because of Lillian and the princess has my blue eyes. After all, we are Mommy's princesses! :) Mommy said she is on ebay right now.

That's all for now! Stay tuned for part two...maybe I can teach Sissy how to use this thing too!
