Tallahassee, Florida 12-18-10

 It's Savannah Lee's 2nd birthday party!
 Opening a card.
She gets a new backpack. 
 Rick and Lynda enjoying the show.
 She seems to be getting a kick out of this card.
 Nothing like a bunch of presents on your birthday.
Time to blow out the candles. 
She gets attached (literally) to her favorite present.

Tallahassee, Florida 12-18-10

 It's time for Melina's gymnastic competition.
The family is awaiting her arrival on the floor. 
 Savannah Lee had picked up on her Papa standing in the balcony taking pictures.
 Melina begins her routine on the balance beam.
Reminds me of the 'Karate Kid' pose. 
 A handstand prior to....
the dismount. 
 Melina watching some of the other competitors.
 Her instructor is helping her get ready for her floor routine.
 Coordinating her routine to the music.
A timed jump. 
And finishing up her routine. 
Watching her Papa take her picture. 
 In the middle of performing a tumbling move.
 And the finish of her tumble.
 The beginning of an uneven parallel bar routine.
 Getting ready to flip under the bar.
 Now, back over on the top.
 And a dismount.
Melina poses with her medal. 
Showing off her medal to her G-Ma and mother.

Monticello, Florida 12-10-10

 Rick on Lori came out to the house to have me take pictures of their family for their Christmas card.
 What a beautiful family!
 Rick and Lori posing.
And then it was the kid turn.  Neil, Auburn, Savannah Lee and Melina.
