Wendy's visit - March 2011

Wendy came to visit us for a long weekend in March. She didn't let the last bits of winter damper a single moment of her trip.

She took the kids to Maya's dance class on Friday with Miss Davis.
Maya loves going to dance class (getting to wear the outfit is a big plus), and she gets very excited when Friday rolls around.
Mae (the other little girl in our nanny share and therefore Maya's best friend) is also in the dance class.

In fact, the dance class is just Mae and Maya. Miss Davis has been teaching dance in the community for decades and is great with the girls. She can be stern and is a definite departure from the sweet 19 year old that taught Maya's first ballet class. But Miss Davis loves Mae and Maya - and we all could use a little Miss Davis in our lives to tell us when to stop messing around.

Ben also enjoys going to see Miss Davis.
We took a lot of walks during Shu shu's visit.
And one day it warmed up enough to head to the park.
Notice the ponytail!
Wendy accompanied the 3 Tacketts on their weekly early Sunday morning grocery trip (while I - thankfully - get to sleep in).
Dressing up is becoming a daily ritual for Maya....
and, therefore, for Ben as well. At least he enjoys it because I have the feeling that he will be forced to wear "costooms" on a fairly frequent basis in the very near future.

Wendy managed to get Maya's hair into pigtails for the first time. I love that the bug finally has enough hair to do something with! Now if only she'd let me do it...
Wendy took Ben to yoga on Sunday and came with Maya and me on Monday. Maya has mastered the tree pose.
Ben is going to continue trying to become a zen master; Maya is taking a break from yoga as she has started soccer this past week. We haven't gotten any pictures yet... but we will. Wendy - thanks for a wonderful visit!
