Becky goes to a yoga class three times a week at the Pointe of Grace dance studio, the same place Felicity goes for her dance class. The other night we had dinner at the place right by the studio and Becky brought her yoga clothes to change into. Nobody else showed for the class, so Ms. Kim (the owner) and Ms. Amy (the teacher) said the girls could stay. Felicity likes to do yoga but Michaela doesn’t have the patience yet. But she did do a few poses with them!
I posted some photos a while ago but I know some people don’t check the photos page, just the home page. Go take a look at August and Felicity’s 4th birthday.
Felicity started pre-school today at our church’s school, St. Elizabeth Ann Seton. She will go every Monday, Wednesday and Friday afternoons. She was very excited to go and I think that it helped that we went into her classroom last Friday for about an hour and met the teachers and got to play in her classroom. She was hooked! She was very cute today, here are some of the highlights:
* On our way to school she told me “Mommy, if Michaela does anything cute while I am at school make sure you grab the camera and record it so I can see it when I get home.”
* Once at school we put her lunchbox in her cubby and headed into her classroom while holding my hand, but as soon as she walked through that door she squeezed my hand very tight and only let go to give her teacher a hug and find her name tag.
* Michaela seemed a little confused when I put her in her car seat and Felicity wasn’t in hers. She looked back at the school doors and then at me and said “Fa Fi?” (her word for Felicity). Then when I got her up from her nap to go get Felicity, I asked her, “do you wan to go get Felicity?” She got excited and still 1/2 asleep yelled, “FA FI!”
* When I walked into her classroom to pick her up, she saw me, got a big smile on her face and came racing towards me! Too cute!
She had a great day and really likes it. Her teachers Mrs. LaFevre and Mrs. Hoffman, are terrific and you can tell from the instant that you meet them that they love their job and truly love the kids they teach. It is going to be a great year!

The other day I posted new photos to our Photos page. They include a June photo set with Father’s Day and our 8th Anniversary, and July witht he 4th holiday, the new swingset, a trip to Sedona/Flagstaff, Randy’s birthday and some other things. Enjoy.
I just uploaded some more photos to the Photos Section of the Blog. Enjoy!
Earlier this week I posted some photos for the month of April as well as a separate set for Easter. Highlights from the April set include a Fancy Nancy dinner (see previous post), some great family pictures of the four of us and some really cute ones of the girls. For Easter, the highlight was probably getting to spend some time with my brother Ted, Kris and the kids: Nick, Dan, Lindsay and Ben. We also took some Post Family portraits, although the sun was pretty bright, so most are a little washed out and have a bunch of squinty subjects…but otherwise they are very nice. Then of course there are plenty of egg hunting ones! Enjoy.

Aunt Jane was the one who introduced Felicity to the Fancy Nancy series of books by Jane O’Connor. Nancy is a very unique little girl who loves to dress up and do all things fancy, even using fancy words. The illustrations are great too. Apparently the illustrator, Robin Preiss Glasser was a ballerina at one time, and most of her illustrations of Nancy have her in some ballet type pose.
Anyway, in the first book (pictured here), Nancy laments how its tough being the only fancy one in the family. One day she gets the idea to offer free fancy lessons to her mom, dad and little sister. 
They get all dressed up and go out to eat at some little diner or something. Well, Felicity had been bugging us to go out to a “fancy dinner” for a while, and last weekend we finally did it!
Felicity wore all of her Fancy Nancy stuff that she got from Uncle Kenny, plus a few other fancy accessories! Mom even put a little makeup on her. She picked out all of our outfits and then we went to Panda Express, oooh la la! It was fun, and some of the pictures are really classic. I think they capture the stage that Felicity is at right now. So enjoy a few of my favorite photos below, or check out the rest in the April 2009 photo set.

I’ve been mostly caught up on posting photos, but usually I do a blog post highlighting when new ones when they go up, but I haven’t done that in a while. Well, here is an update for photos posted in the past few months, oldest to newest.
Christmas 2008 – All the fun stuff for Michaela’s first Christmas and the Post Family gathering.
January 2009 – A nice picnic in the park, a mellow New Years Eve, Super Bowl 3D and MK’s first trip to the U of A Campus.
Christmas Ellis 2008 – We had a late Christmas with the Ellis Family up in Sedona. Late or not, we all had a great weekend.
February 2009 – Hmm…just monthly cuteness, oh and the 10th anniversary of Becky and I’s first V-Day (we went back to Tohono Chul park and recreated some photos from that day.) and Felicity showing off her “modeling”.
Michaela’s 1st Birthday – See our previous post.
March 2009 – Elisia’s 3rd birthday party, March Madness, and some random shots with the new camera.
We haven’t posted in a while…yadda yadda…as usual we’re playing catch up with the blog…you know the drill.
Last month Michaela turned one! What a wonderful year it has been, and we are all thoroughly enjoying the rapid pace of her development now…it seems like every day she tries some new sound/word, takes more steps, plays new games.
On the morning of her birthday (3/13) we gave her her present from us, her very own princess chair! She loves having one just like her sister does. That night we had a little practice round for her birthday party and gave her a cupcake…also a pretty big hit.
Then the next day, we had a party at our house. The photos are up if you want to view all of them, but here are a few highlights.

As usual, we have some catching up to do in terms of updating everyone on the latest developments at the Post household. This isn’t that update! But I did get caught up on my photos.
November was a great month, it included Michaela learning to crawl, Thanksgiving, a trip to the zoo, and meeting up with some of our friends from college (Kevin and Alyssa and their new baby boy Cameron, Aubrey and Aurora). In the December set are all the photos except Christmas. 
Highlights from that group of photos includes our trip to Sedona to visit Grandma and Grandpa E. and of course to see Erin and Jason and their son Andrew, all of whom were in town from Scotland, Michaela learning to clap, and the RHUP party (Rays, Hennings, Urbanskis and Posts) including meeting Sammy Ray for the first time and Felicity’s haircut (courtesy of Aunt Mary). Then there are a bunch of photos in the Christmas 2008 photo set.
A belated Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to all our family and friends! Look for more blog posts soon (hopefully).
