The Bellinas go to the Circus!

Happy April, everyone!  We hope you are all enjoying some nice Spring weather!  We have been very busy lately, as we seem to be every Spring.  The theme of the past few weeks seems to be performing!!  

Earlier this month, Logan got to bring Danny to school with him for "Rocket Day."  We had set up a special day with the Preschool Director so that Danny could come and he and Logan could set off one of his rockets for the kids.  Logan was thrilled to be the star of the show with his daddy and rumor has it, all the kids LOVED it.  They're already talking about booking Danny for next year to do it again!  

This week, Lila and I got to go to the circus.  You may be asking yourself why Logan didn't get to come along.  Well, that's because he was IN the circus!!  His preschool put on their first ever circus performance on Monday.  Logan was one of the Strong Men (in fact, he was the strongest of the strong men - a very important detail as far as he is concerned)!  It was a wonderful show.  There were Lions, Elephants, Animal Trainers, Acrobats, Strong Men, and Clowns.  The kids did a fabulous job and most importantly, had a wonderful time!  Lila loved watching (and eating popcorn) and she kept telling Logan that her favorite part was seeing him with his big muscles.  

Speaking of The Diva, she has been spending a lot of time practicing her own performances lately.  Papa Sunny brought a fun microphone/guitar/speaker set up when he visited in February, and she has been singing to us in the microphone every day.  She loves to announce herself, "Ladies and Gentlemen, Lila is going to sing Twinkle Twinkle Wittle Staw."  She LOVES to sing and she loves to see other "singing girls."  I can't tell you how often we find ourselves watching the Celtic singers on PBS.  

She has also been very busy being my little clothing model lately.  I have been sewing up a storm, and I have started getting more and more orders for clothing.  I have ordered business cards, and even started building a website.  It's a little intimidating, but I am excited about it.  I will be sure to let everyone know when the website is officially up and running.  Until then, if you're looking for a cute little outfit for that special little one in your life, feel free to let me know!!  :-)

That's it from NC for now.  Next week we are headed to NYC to spend Passover with Grandma Francine, Papa Sunny, and Aunt Heather.  Then we head back to NC to see if the Easter Bunny has come (and thanks to Grandma Barb - she surely will).  We hope you all enjoy your holiday weekend, and I will be sure to post another update when we get back!

Lots of pictures this time around of the strong man, and the future supermodel.  Enjoy!

Love to you all!
Sarah, Danny, Logan, & Lila

Check out my muscles!!

Can he do it???

Piece of cake!

Even 1000 lbs is nothing to him!
