We, the ladies of the house, decided to go for a hike the other day to pass the morning. Koda continues to be outstanding with Bella and will not let her out of her sight. Koda is protective, even out in the woods.........but I do not mind one bit. Bella has started to enjoy "hiking" even though we do not really cover any ground before she is tired and ready for a change of scenery. Still, it is nice to escape the ordinary and the heat with a trip to Cloudcroft.

I do not even know what to say about this one. Too cute!

We went to DC for a wedding of some great friends. Bella was out on the dance floor looking for everyone to join her. Of course she had to show off her twirling ability to all............what else is a girl to do?

I told her this could be her future house if she wanted it to be (which only made her want to see it more and really get a good feel for it).......hard to imagine what your children will do.
