Christmas Recital

Rory's Christmas recital was last night and it was a night to remember. I know I am biased being that he is my son and all, but he is the best dancer in the bunch!

New loves

We finally got Rory signed up for tae kwon do and he is just loving it.  And we love it, too.  Yeah, yeah, of course we want him to have fun and learn some moves, but these teachers instill discipline, and that is the real kicker.  Rory is a great little guy, but he is four and that means being pretty darn rascally from time to time. To see him standing in line perfectly still and calm and to be told how important it is to respect and listen to his parents is quite the winning combo of money well spent.

And Miss Eloisa loves, loves, loves swings.  We've bundled up and walked to the park a couple of times this week and she is just fascinated.  Or maybe it is that she is fascinating to watch.  The pictures will explain what I mean.  The rain is going to kick back in soon and it will probably put a stop to our swinging for a bit.  But actually, crazy mom that I am, we'll probably be there with a towel and an umbrella hovering over her so she can have some more fun.
