This photo is from June this year. We went together to see her friend Kayla in a ballet performance. There were maybe fifteen performances from different age groups that evening.. Dahlia was so bored! Eventually she got down on the floor and started dancing when the hip hip dancer came out. She told me that was the best part!

Justin took Dahlia to a soccer game in town. The first half she asked lots of questions while watching it and the second half she was a little more restless. Very interested in the ball girls. She aspires to be a ball girl someday (:
She also showed off her running abilities to Justins former track coach. He was rather impressed (:

Dahlia lost her little best friend Samantha tuesday night in a horrible car wreck. We are so heartbroken for the mother who is also a good friend of mine. Dahlia asked us if Samantha can still be her best friend even though she is in heaven. so precious. Samantha wasn't just any sweet girl, she really was special to us. The first time our families met this was evident. Something about the way they played together and just clicked. Dahlia has lots of little girls she calls her friends, but samantha was her favorite and always had the best time with her.
Dahlia asked so many questions after I had told her what had happened... losing two special people in your life at the age of 4 seems so crazy! She is excited though that Samantha is playing with Augustine right now. That is a happy thought for her.
We are all grieving this sad loss and are feeling many similar emotions we felt last year. we Love Nicole so dearly and pray for her heart and soul to be comforted.

Shopping trips are loads more fun with Dahlia! We had the best day hitting up a bunch of shops. Isn't she the cutest little shopper ever!?! She was so sweet saying hi to all the birds and dancing to the department store music.

Dahlia likes to organize. She definitely isn't a neat freak or anything, but when it's time to organize she is all over it.

Dahlia loves her little brother!

Dahlia doing her two favorite things: coloring and posing.

I had been wanting to make a dress for Dahlia. Easter was coming up so I made that my deadline. She picked out the colors and I kept the design simple so I wouldn't get overwhelmed. She was so adorable and proud to tell everyone all about it.
