The Art of the Dance!

You’ve heard of Mary’s dance class adventures…. Or maybe you haven’t… Doesn’t mean they aren’t ongoing.

You know that William has followed into the art… With Vigor.

What you DON’T know… is that the newest member of the Family aspires to greatness! Anne Carroll hasn’t seen him yet, but I expect that the application will be processed quickly and accepted. Click the pictures to get more detail.

Here, we have the initial greeting and setup:

The Setup..

Dominance is tested, and we begin the Ballet.

The leap, executed although the stretch doesn’t fully extend… 1 point deduction.

Check your partner’s position, and prepare for the grand finale.

It’s the Flying dog duo! 8 paws, 7 airborne.

Perhaps the dance should be left to the children. I hear the flying squirrels have some openings.

Has it been 2 weeks??

Since I’m home waiting for the air conditioner guys to come back, hopefully with the person who will fix the ceiling!, I thought I’d post some of the pics from the last week. There aren’t that many. I have been using the little camera more instead of the iphone so they are better quality.

Mom’s Day at Dance Class

Actually it was bring a friend day but Mary was not the only one using her mother as a friend. She was probably the only one who brought her mother, grandmother, and little brother. Daddy sat out in the lobby and chatted with other parents. i think only one little girl brought a little friend.

Saturday morning

We are up and doing fine. Since the debacle of Wednesday night, William has gotten motrin during the day and the pain medicine at night. He has been able to sleep much better.

Poppa came up last night and both kids were thrilled to see him. William promptly let him know that he was ‘stuck’. He brought William two new toys and a little gift for Mary from friends in Arab. MaryVic ‘helped’ William open them. He is getting a bit possessive though and if he could hear her playing with the new baby boom box toy, he’d start fussing.

All is well, I was over my bug on Saturday. MaryVic is a little needy due to all the attention William has to have right now. Greg has been working on the light switches at the house and they are ‘automated’ to a degree. We can change them on and off from the computer. I have to say that the motion detector in the garage is pretty cool. It automatically turns the lights on when you walk in there.

What’s really funny about the new switches is that if the lights do go off, the first word out of the kids’ mouths is ‘Daddeee!” If he is around, William will start going ‘dark, dark, dark…’ until they are turned back on.

MaryVic has dance class then we’ll try taking William out to lunch and Costco for his first outing. We wanted to try going out to the library yesterday but it rained all day.

We’re trying to decide about MaryVic going to daycare while I’m home with William. I would just hate for her to come home with a bug and us get sick since flu season is still going on. We may try a day or two a week though and take a friends suggestion to take her straight to bath when she gets home.

FYI, there have never been any bon-bons in the house.
