Tiny Dancer




My sweet cousin Meg, who has FOUR daughters, has included Anna in her hand-me-down chain. Today's latest installment of cute Kerr clothes (Thanks, Meg!) included ballet slippers and pink leotard/skirt. Anna is in love. She twirled, jumped, galloped and twinkled her way through dinner tonight. (An epic tantrum ensued when she had to undress for bath-time.) Tonight was one of those moments that caught me off guard. Anna is growing up so fast, and while there are times when I can't wait for these "terrific twos" to pass (i.e. bath-time), I just want to hang on to moments like tonight. Seeing our not-so-little girl transform before our eyes always takes my breath away.

Happy Halloween!










We had a great time for Anna's first real Halloween. We were in Pensacola for the weekend, and our flight to Atlanta would have interfered with the city's scheduled festivities. Never fear, grandparents to the rescue! We borrowed a super-charged golf cart from a neighbor and hitched a hay-filled trailer to it. I think the bats, skeletons, streamers and ghoul masks gave it a nice flair. Our neighbors were kind enough to let us trick-or-treat a day early. What fun for our little cupcake (and for the adults, too!).
