So we were grocery shopping today, and I hear this mom say, "look Emma, that little girl has the same hair as you" I turned around and low and behold she does! So I had to touch the little girls hair to be sure it is "exactly" the same! The mom and I couldn't believe it, because we thought there couldn't be two 3 year olds in the same town with the same hair, let alone in all the world...well we each asked each other's permission to take a picture of our daughters and put them on our blogs. Pretty neat eh?

Pre-Mother's Day Celebration and "So You Think You Can Dance"
So an old friend of Nathan's called and asked if Nathan would like to edit for a few weeks for the show "So You Think You Can Dance," and while that means he will be working from 7pm to 4am at the Studio in LA, it was a NO BRAINER, since we both love that show, and will surely be getting tickets. The store will be ok, we have good employees, but our schedule will be a little upside down for about a month, but we have definitely been there before!
So yesterday, our family got to go down to CBS Studios to see where daddy will be working and see our old friend Craig who will be Daddy's boss. "So You Think You Can Dance" is produced by the same company that does Idol, and both shows are in the same studio where they tape the Idol show. So we got to tour the stage. It was fun, and I am sure that on Tuesday Night Nathan will have some stories to tell me when he get's to work!


Miss Miles just finished her audition and she did not make it through to the next round

Looks like the sad story of a Hollywood starlit


What will my future hold?

After touring Daddy's new work we went to The Grove which is just next door


The Grove had a cool Acrobatic Performance

The Girls enjoyed dancing to the music on the lawn

Kindergarten Meet the Principal!
Our baby Claire is starting Kindergarten in the fall (well I should say summer since school starts August14), and we went to meet the principal last week. Claire was having such a great time touring the school, and felt like such a big girl! I now realize just how quickly these babies grow up...:( We are looking forward to next year, so exciting!

Little sister had to sit with big sis!

They gave all the kids goodies!


Even Lucy loves Kindergarten!
