Dancing at the Fair......











This year was Elly's 2nd time to dance at the Porter County Fair with her performing team from dance. She did a wonderful job with her team, and she got to do her trio (We're in the Money) from competition. As you can see from the pictures....she LOVES it! Emmy had a great time too. She got to use my camera while we were waiting for the show...she is very good at taking pictures, and she mastered taking pictures of herself!!!! All in all, it was a fabulous time!

American Girl Store!!!!



Well, it finally happened......the Malone girls have been introduced to the American Girl Store in Chicago! Needless to say, they loved it, as did grandma and myself! We had a ball! The day began with a train ride into the city.....loved it. Then a walk to the store....liked it. Then......walking into the store, you would have thought that they were at the gates of Heaven! Eyes as big as watermelons! Who could blame them, American Girls as far as the eye could see....and then more upstairs!!! Clothes, movies, books, dolls, more dolls, tiny dolls, kid clothes, baby clothes, it was a dream come true! Then......Emmy, in all of her indecisiveness says...."I have come here for Kit, I'm going to go and get Kit now." And off she went, no ifs ands or buts!! (And oddly enough, no changing her mind!!) Elly, however, walked around, and around, and around trying to figure out the best fit for her. The answer.....Rebecca. Both of the girls picked a doll that looked like their own sister! Ahhhh the love! So, we went, we saw, and we conquered! It was a lovely day for all!
