The 50th day of school

Delaney's kindergarten class celebrated the 50th day of school by dressing up like the 50's. We had a poodle skirt in the dress up box. I can't believe she actually wore something other than her denim capri's. She looked really cute.

The Graduate

Delaney finally graduated with high honors from Ms. Barb's preschool. It was a tough road, lots of homework, projects, etc. That thesis at the end was killer! Kidding aside, she is sad to be done with preschool. The long summer looms ahead. She thinks she should start kindergarten today... I have to stop myself from telling her that is my wish also. Please pray that we all make it to the fall. :-)

Delaney's new hair

It must be the month of the haircut in the Rork home. Here are some pics of Delaney's newest doo. These are the before shots.

My bare belly

As many of you know, my sister-in-law is a budding photographer. She has taken all of the great shots you see on my blog. She asked me last pregnancy to do a maternity shot. I was very hesitant and ended up not doing it. This time she convinced me to do it. I think part of the reason I agreed was because this is the last time I'll be pregnant, and wanted to capture the belly on "film". (This is only after numerous affirmations from Kylie that she can get rid of my many imperfections). I'll tell you, 4 pregnancies can really kill your body. Honestly, it's not a pretty site. Some day I'll have surgery to repair the damage...Hee hee!! Anyway, this is one she did with Delaney and I. When I get more, I'll share if it's not too revealing...Don't worry, Demi Moore and I will not have similar photos.

Delaney's tee ball trophy

Delaney just completed her first season of tee ball. She was on the Volcanoes. Her friends Tyler and Conner were also on her team. My friend Julie Cohen and I co-coached her team. It was pretty funny most of the time. I have to say our young team of 4-5 year olds improved quite a bit over the season. She was very excited to get a trophy from Santa but more excited about the tiny candy cane she got with it. I think she's addicted to candy...

Thanksgiving and Delaney's 5th birthday

Thanksgiving was spent at my parents' home in lovely, burning, Southern California. Luckily, I guess, my parents don't live in Malibu, so we were safe. We had the traditional dinner with 3 of my 4 sisters and my brother. My sister Amy was visiting her inlaws in Boston. We watched a few good football games (GO BYU!!) and then settled in to celebrate Delaney's 5th birthday. I can't believe she's 5. Of course she thinks she should be in kindergarten, and I would have to agree with her there. But, she was born a little late. She'll be more than ready by August. Until then, she has to settle for preschool 2 days a week. Scott went shopping at 4 a.m. on Friday morning. Crazy is the word I was thinking. He had a successful trip and found some really great deals. I don't think I'll ever have the desire to do that. I don't like shopping as it is, and anything at 4 a.m. is simply wrong. Hope your Thanksgiving was a good one.

Two, three... soon to be four
