Throwback Thursday: Baby Michelle

Even though I don't normally do this, I found these cute pictures of myself at my parents' house. So here is Baby Michelle.

Keeping Busy

School here starts really early, so by the time we got home from our Midwest Tour, we only had a month left of summer!

We kept busy by going to Chik-Fil-A day.

Getting our faces painted (for free!) at the mall

Picking and eating blueberries

Playing with our baby bunnies

Going to the aquarium, which was cool, but frankly, not worth the $12 we spent to see 7 small tanks.

Can you spot the flounder?

Beautiful sea turtle.

Building block villages.

Going bowling (also free!)

Doing happy dances when we bowl :)

 

Playing with kittens

Doing each other's hair, which is now a MAJOR hobby at our house since I finally invested in some detangler.

Going to see a butterfly exhibit at the mall.

It was a HUGE hit!

Even Lydia was thrilled about the butterflies. That WAS worth the $5 I paid for 5 minutes of awesomeness.

Building Lego robots.

Going to the art museum (free!)

Note: the art museum has ridiculously cold AC in the summer.

Magazine Spread

I have wanted a dSLR for a long time, but it's never been in our budget. However, when I was in Indiana, my grandfather gave me a decent digital camera. It has more megapixels and zoom than my phone, so I tried out some pictures of the girls.

And they tried out some pictures of me!

I love this one of Lydia.

Cool cat.

The sun is a lot brighter in GA and the girls had been begging me for some sunglasses. I found Rapunzel sunglasses at the Disney Store for $3 a piece! Now they all have matching sunglasses. Also, no fighting!

I know. Super model quality, right?!

 Pretty girl. I think I'm going to frame this one.

 A little color touch up and these pictures of Nan are beautiful!

Emily didn't want to wear nicer clothes...she's going through a t-shirt only phase.

At least she smiled for me!

I LOVE this picture of Nathalie, because it shows her exuberant personality!

Where did she learn a kissy face?!

She loves this silly smile.

This face is called, "I'm posing for Mom and she wants me to smile."

Ah yes, Lydia's true colors.
