Parlez Vous Francais?

This requires a short explanation. We were hiking in the Hyde Park area of Santa Fe. We came across a very nice French woman who was looking for her husband. Amelia has been a francophile for some time now. Once I explained to her that the woman was not only French but was from Paris Amelia curtsied and said my name is Amelie (sorry I didn't get the curtsy on film). But the rest of the exchange is pretty cute.

Amelia's Dream Activity

She really could not contain herself for this one, face painted by a fairy while holding a bunny.

En Garde

We spent an afternoon at the Santa Fe Children's Museum on our recent trip. They were having a big event with lots of things to do. Fencing was a must. She was reluctant to hit the other person with the sword and would not fight me at all.

First Day of School

Amelia's first day of kindergarten. I was so happy to see her and hear about her day. She is such a big girl now.

More Shidoni Pics

Shidoni Trip

We had a great time at the sculpture garden at Shidoni.

Contemplative Amelia

Inspired by the beauty of her surroundings Amelia takes some time to think about it all.

Canyon Road Trip

The weather was great this time of year in Santa Fe so we took a stroll down Canyon Road. Outside sculpture is always good for 5 year old kids. I always get a bit nervous going through the high priced galleries with her.

Santa Fe Summer 2009

We just returned from a great trip to Santa Fe. Amelia got to spend time with her Auntie Lynn and Uncle Mike. I took a ton of pictures so the blog will be busy this month. Check back for updates.

On a hot day recently we took Amelia to the Cowboy Hall of Fame. She and Emma loved the ghost town.

Her favorite was the church in the ghost town.

I think the swimming lessons have paid off.

Piano Lessons

Amelia has a little crush on her Uncle Steven. She thinks most of his songs are written for her. Anytime he goes to the piano she plops right down to play along.

Thanks For The Fathers Day Present Amelia

Amelia's Ballet 2009

This year on Amelia's birthday she performed in her first ballet. She was a poppy in the production of the Wizard of Oz. She spent lots of long hours practicing her part. Her dancing was perfect and she enjoyed every minute of it.

Birthday Presents

Thanks Grandma J. and Papa AV.

Happy Birthday Amelia
