Future Olympian 2020

Fast as a 

speeding 

bullet... 

[Notice the grin on her face; Lorelai is made to race!]

Let me tell you something about Lorelai Leigh. Lorelai Leigh is fast. Oh so fast. She has never lost a race.  So when we heard about a track and field camp for kids her age we knew she had to participate.

The Chariots of Fire theme song was singing through my head as I watched Lorelai run. She beat every other kid by about a third of the length they were racing.

This girl has speed, I tell you!

Track meet is on Thursday - I'll post results here on Friday!

Destination: Leavenworth

On Saturday we put the children into the car and drove to Leavenworth, a city here in Washington that resembles a Bavarian village. It is absolutely charming! Alexandra said she likes it better than Disneyland. Now that's saying something!

During the month of July, they have Waldo of Where's Waldo fame hidden in 25 shops around Leavenworth.

 

The girls picked up passports at the local book store and began the search, collecting stamps and signatures whenever they found one.

Such a fun idea, no?

 

[Mid-day tube feeding.]

[Behold, 116 flavors of taffy!]

[Too bad I'm not so fond of taffy.]

[Every town needs a maypole!]

[It went up and up forevah!]

 

[This picture reminded me of Michelangelo's painting, The Touch.]

 

Auf Wiedersehen!

A Ponytail on the Queen

Elisabeth's hair is finally long enough to fit into a ponytail.

It's quite becoming on her, I would say.

[If you look behind Elisabeth's ear you can easily see the outline of her shunt beneath the skin.]

Doctor Sorenson

Welcome to the medical office of Dr. Lorelai Sorenson.

Now accepting new patients.

Her notebook:

I love how she wrote 'prescriptcion'. The Spanish influence is apparent!

My favorite is where it says:  

Giraffe - Constapated For 3 years.

How do my girls come up with these things? Ha!

 

The Royal Pup

I'm pretty sure that Brigitta thinks she's the royal baby.

"Hello, my royal subjects."
