I bet our neighbors think we're weird

What do ya bet?

dance competitions

One of the things keeping us busy lately is DANCE. These two had dance competitions the last two weekends, though we were so lucky that they were nearby so we at least didn't have to travel to attend. However, it is very busy between keeping up with which performance is next, running backstage to change costumes/hair/makeup/shoes/etc, waiting for awards, and fitting in all of the other stuff you normally do on the weekend and the other kids' activities. Both girls did very well. They have worked hard this year and it has paid off!

Delaney's team will attend a national competition in Galveston this summer and they are very excited about it, so the work is not done yet!

one of these things is not like the other

As most of you are aware, much of our life right now revolves around dance, with three girls in dance class or on a dance team. This is from a community performance that Sadie did a couple of weeks ago. You can see that she wasn't wearing her tap shoes -- it was just a few days after she got her cast off her broken heel. Her foot is still pretty stiff and it is not totally back to normal yet, but it is steadily improving. She is still as accident prone as ever, though, so it feels like that kid is always recovering from some sort of ailment!
