So sorry it's been so long since my last post. Here are some pictures to catch up with the latest Jillian happenings.

November's hightlight included Jillian's 5th birthday!

This unicorn was one of her favorite gifts.

We spent Thanksgiving in Charlottesville with Frank's family and managed to get this great family photo on the first take.

Jillian loved these boots this winter.

We had another terrific year for snow. It was a headache at times but certainly helped the kids hone their sledding skills.


Wellllll sort of....

But they kept at it....this is Jillian with Lilly C. and Lilli S.

This picture was taken Christmas morning when Jillian had on her new nightgown and new robe while playing her new guitar.

Jillian also got her first sleepover sleeping bag from her Godmother, which was a huge hit!

And at the beginning of January we all got a treat when we added Wallace to the family. He is a rescue and about 3 years old. Amazing dog and he fits right in. Very naturally a happy boy. And sweet beyond description.

I love this picture of he and Halle watching the snow come down between rays of sunlight.

This is pretty much the scene whenever Jillian watches TV. One dog for each hand.

We did have some sadness when The Steelers lost the Superbowl in February. But Jillian was right there cheering them on despite a rough game.

And one other activity has been added this year in addition to ballet....Jillian has enjoyed being in the Cherub Choir at our church. Although I do confess that while she sings a lot at home she tends to enjoy looking around more when up in front of the congregation. ; )



Until next time........
