Summer 08




I am not really good at keeping up this blog so I will wrap up our summer in this entry.
The summer has gone by much too quickly around here. I was very busy with work and when I wasn't working just running around with Dave and the girls. Kenzie and Alex came to stay with us for two weeks so Ella had a blast playing with her cousins. Ella spent her mornings at Picasso and Safari camp (which she loved by the way). There were days she came home as a painted canvas herself. Then the afternoons and evenings were full of summer fun. We had two weeks to get in as much fun and excitement as we could and we did a pretty good job.
Lily is developing quite the personality and is as sweet as can be. She is 5 months old now. She is calm and loves to cuddle. She easily adapts to our busy crazy lives and is just the happiest baby every. She loves attention but is also content playing with her toys and just watching the world around her.

Dave is doing great. He loves his job and his girls. When he is not working he is playing princess, puppies or baker. He leaves in a few weeks for his annual guys hike. (I think he might feel a little naked without his princess fairy wand or stuffed puppy Ella insists he play with daily).
As for my summer I had the opportunity to meet Dwana Smallwood one of the most beautiful and renowned dancers of our time as she came out to teach at my intensive so that was exciting for me. I produced a show at the Mondavi Center in Davis and just enjoyed my girls. I am beginning to understand why everyone always says to enjoy each moment as they pass too quickly. There were many moments this summer I just wanted to freeze so that I could enjoy them much longer. I am leaving for France for work for 10 days and am so sad to leave Dave and the girls but I have a feeling they are all a little excited to have run of the house while I am gone!

So in a nut shell all is well with the Bradfords. We are happy, healthy and busy as ever!
