First Lesson


I told Chloe it was finally the day of her first ballet class....and she said "I'm nervous." 

Once I explained that I wasn't just going to throw her out of the van and wave as I was driving off, she calmed down.  I resisted having her walk in with April and I - she was a few steps ahead, walking confidently, and I let her :)  I almost tripped over her once we got inside though, because she had stopped dead in her tracks.  We found her room and in she went! Then, they closed the door! So, this is the only picture of the 'class time' that I have....

This little Miss wore her shade the entire time we were there, and then we headed to a near-by playground to swing while we waited. 


Totally cool ballerina, looking for her water bottle.  I asked her what she did, and she said "ballet stuff". :)  
I was proud of how brave she was, trying something new with no tears! She woke up the next day expecting to put on her tights and go again :)

Wedding!

Congratulations to the new Mr. and Mrs. Martin! :) We attended Natalie and Dallas' wedding on Saturday and had a lovely time. We know both the bride and groom from college....and just happen to be great friends with the bride's parents as well (Hi Bill and Doreen!). Here is the new couple - Natalie looked beautiful, and Dallas looked pretty good too ;) Here I am with the bride - check out her BLUE shoes! No wedding is complete without a little dancing and singing....particularly to Livin on a Prayer....Steve, Jeff, and Kevin sang at the top of their lungs and performed an air guitar solo: even the bride joined in: We had a great time! I'm thinking of the honeymooners.....kind of wishing I was on a tropical island somewhere too! :)

Baby Pool

Want to guess when Baby #2 is going to arrive? Post a comment, or send me an email, with your guess and I'll add you in! As a review, here are the rules to the game (taken from Heather Deterding!): 1. Post your guess for the baby's arrival in the "comment" section. Be sure to specify both date and time of day -- either "am" or "pm". 2. Limit one guess per person, and only one entry per time slot-- no sharing! 3. Winner is determined based on time of birth. For example, if the baby is born on April 20th at 7 AM, a guess of "April 20th, AM" would be the winner. In the event that there is no entry for the correct arrival time, the next closest guess based on actual time of birth would win. 4. We will post entries on the Calendar above. Check prior entries before placing your guess! Dates not displayed on the calendar above are still up for grabs. 5. The winner will receive... bragging rights and a congratulatory post h
