Quick update

I've been so busy I have been slacking on writing on our blog. I hope to change that. Just a quick recap of all our adventures.

The girls had a great year in school last year and did outstanding! We are so proud of them and their accomplishments. We bought a new house and moved at the end of January. We love our house and are still enjoying making it our own. We miss our old neighborhood, but still happy with our decision! As a result of the move the girls ended up in a different school zone. We kept them where they were through the year but this summer we enrolled them in a new school. Just before school was to start we got calls that they had made it into the local magnet school that is lottery based. We were excited for this move and they seem to be doing well. We do miss all of their old friends and teachers but we try and keep in touch with them.

Both girls were on the competition team last year and did great! The passion they have for dance right now is amazing to me. I guess I was that way with horses when I was their age. I can only hope they keep having fun! We actually went to Ohio this summer for our National Competition. Doug had to work, but the girls and I made this our summer vacation with stops on the way up for some fun.

In addition to all this fun, we made a few trips to the beach and Disney. We also said goodbye to some dear friends who moved to California. Riley and Kamryn have been planning a trip out to CA ever since our friends moved.! They cannot wait until this summer when they hope we can make it out to see them!

It's been quite awhile

Ok, I finally decided I need to get back to posting on our blog. It has been forever. We've had a really busy school year this year. Riley is finishing 3rd grade and Kamryn is finishing kindergarten. They both love school and have done really well! They have also been very busy this year with dance. They were both on the competition team at our studio. All the dancers did great and we're headed to Ohio for nationals.

I'm not making this super long. THere is no way I could catch up that many months. I did realize, however, that I have some family who would read the blog but don't do facebook or anything. So, in an effort to help them, I'll try and do better at posting and keeping a record of what our family has been doing.

First up is a video of Kamryn. Our church participates in a day of service for the community each year. This year, we went to a rehabilitation facility to bring some joy to the residents. We had our children walking the halls singing (Riley was part of this group), we made blankets for the residents and handed them out and our youth put on a program. Kamryn was asked to do a dance as part of the program so she made up her own little dance to a fun song - Over the Rainbow. She had a good time and brought some smiles to some faces!
