Dance Camp Day 3

Everyone is doing great and having fun except for one little problem. The younger girls (Gloria's group) are in a smaller room most of the morning, the "pink" room, and the bigger girls are in the "Purple" room. At the end of the day and for the performance at the end of the week, they all go into the purple room to practice their dances. Gloria will not dance in the purple room. She does great in the pink room, but when they move to the purple room, she just stands still as a board the whole time! Silly girl!

Dance Camp!

All 3 girls have dance camp this week. (It is Gloria's first time to go!) They seemed to really enjoy the first day and were very cute! Stephen and I managed to hold the fort down here without them.

Getting ready
Pretty


Silly


I was a little concerned at first leaving Gloria because she looked a little uncertain, and some of the children in her group were crying, but when I got there to watch the end of class she was all smiles and having lots of fun!

Swimming with Friends

We had the blessing of swimming with some sweet friends this morning...
Swim buddies


All the girls (the two boys...one brother from each family, were otherwise entertaining themselves)

Big Rig Day at the Library

We missed this last year but just happened to go to the library yesterday and found out it was this morning. I was surprised that the girls remembered so much about it. They were so excited this morning and had lots of fun.

The only two bold enough to get in the helicpter


This little talking remote control fire engine was by far the favorite attraction (along with the free popsicles!)


BIG tractor wheel...Stephen was really interested in this tractor


Handling the excavator...they actually got to maneuver it!

Dance of the Irish

Allia has been working on this song for a few weeks now and really likes it. (It is the one she played at Lita's house with Austin's choir director). She can now play it by memory, with her eyes closed and can transpose it into different keys! She amazes me (and makes me a little jealous...wish I could play piano like that! ;) )

My cuties

Loveseat for 4? Will it fit 5?


Stephen is having a tough time transitioning from 2 naps to 1. He needed his paci this morning...and some sisterly comfort. :)

A new little heart

beating in our home! Yes, there is another baby baking, due to arrive mid January. Everyone is hoping for a boy for Stephen's sake, except for Gloria who insists, "But I need a sister." We will see!
