New words

The scene in our house the other night... Semira is dancing around like a crazy person when she's supposed to be getting ready for her bath. Gilbert: "Semira, what are you doing?" Semira: "I'm shakin' my booty!" I couldn't resist getting out the video camera the next day.

Paw Ball

Photo by Amanda Kimble. Semira is seen petting a puppy at the Paw Ball benefitting our local humane society. We attended because her daddy is part of the group that organized the ball. This photo made it into our local paper... no doubt because of the gorgeous little girl with such interest in the puppy. By the way, the puppy did find a new home that evening with one of our town's many animal lovers.

Cute shoes

It was picture day today at Semira's school. She's wearing her new outfit, complete with her new purple shoes. I don't know what brand they are, but they sure look like crocs to me!
