And the winner is: BAILIE SCHIRA!

Bailie did it!!! We're here in Las Vegas at the LA Dance Magic national finals and last night my beautiful little girl (young lady actually) won the competition for Magic Performer of the Year in her age group! That means she was the top dancer in the entire country this year! We are so proud of all the hard work and everything else she has had to go through to achieve such an amazing goal. We're also very thankful that she is getting recognized by her peers for her efforts because we see the incredible effort she puts in on a regular basis to both excel in school and follow her dreams in dance. She is one fantastic kid!

I don't have any pictures of the event available to post just yet, but I will get some out here ASAP. The picture I've included is from when we were down in Florida.... but at least it looks like I'm holding her up on my shoulders in celebration of her title.

Congratulations Bailie!!!!! We love you!!!!

Finally a new post!

Sorry that it's been so long since our last post. We've been very busy getting used to life with our new little guy. He's finally starting to get a little pudgy but he's still as cute as ever..... although I may be just a little biased. Anyway, here are some newer pictures of Max. He will be 3 months old on July 13th.











This is one of mom's favorites. Trust me, he's not as innocent as he looks.



















He hasn't quite mastered the whole sitting thing.




















Here's Max hanging out at Grandma's pool with Mom and Big Sis.















Cousin Braeden and Max probably won't be this quiet when they get together for much longer.













Hey! Look what I can do!
















Attack of the killer bird!















What do you want to do. I'm bored.















Just a picture of the rest of the family so you don't forget what we look like.














If he could only be this peaceful all the time.
