A first for Zanna

Susanna had her first dress up fun with the big girls. She loved every minute as you can see. Can't wait for next time!

"But, I wanted the pink sequin dress!"
"I don't want to dance, Mom."


"Mom, pleeease, no more!"

Three, Nine and Twentysix

Laney, the princess ballerina birthday girl








Sara so grown up!


Birthday date with Gram to see the play Sleeping Beauty


Jessi, my beautiful baby sister
So cool sporting all of her new jewelry!

The Perfect Nanny

Sara picked Mary Poppins to watch together tonight. I love it. She is a great example of fun and discipline.



Lyrics from stlyrics

Jane Banks:
[Spoken]
Wanted a nanny for two adorable children

[Sung]
If you want this choice position
Have a cheery disposition
Rosy cheeks, no warts!
Play games, all sort

You must be kind, you must be witty
Very sweet and fairly pretty
Take us on outings, give us treats
Sing songs, bring sweets

Never be cross or cruel
Never give us castor oil or gruel
Love us as a son and daughter
And never smell of barley water

If you won't scold and dominate us
We will never give you cause to hate us
We won't hide your spectacles
So you can't see
Put toads in your bed
Or pepper in your tea
Hurry, Nanny!
Many thanks
Sincerely,

Jane and Michael Banks:
