Kayleigh's First Dance Class

This past winter when we were in the States having Layla, John and I realized how much extracurricular activities there were to offer in America for little kids. It made us sad in a way that Kayleigh was missing out on those opportunities especially since she LOVES music and dancing. So when we heard that some local friends of ours with ballet experience were offering dance classes from age 5 and up we were thrilled. What a huge blessing from the Lord. Today was Kayleigh's first dance class and I think she really liked it. I am looking forward to seeing her learn and enjoy her ballet class.

National Day

Tomorrow is National Day in East Asia. The whole country will be taking about 8 days off to celebrate this holiday. Kayleigh's school decided to celebrate too with a performance today. John dropped her off this morning and came back home to tell me to go to her school at 10am for the performance. I should have seen it coming since she has been dancing around the house and singing in Chinese for the past couple of weeks. Kayleigh did not warn me of this performance and neither did her teachers. Notice Kayleigh's attire. All the other little girls are wearing nice white dresses and Kayleigh is in her every day clothes. They gave me no warning to dress her up. However, the teachers did compromise by putting make up on her. We were so proud of her. Last year during this performance she just basically stood there. This year was very different. She knew all the moves to the dance and even knew some of the words to the song. She did a great job!

Notice above that Kayleigh is singing on the microphone. I was surprised and proud at the same time!

Holly's Wedding

Well much to my surprise Zeb did wonderful in the wedding! He walked down the isle just perfect and stood beside me as we watched Holly walk down. It was like he had practiced it 100 times but in reality none of our practices were a success. Kayleigh and Savannah did awesome too but most importantly Holly was a very beautiful and lovely bride. The ceremony was sweet and the reception was a lot of fun. Holly had all her bridesmaids learn a dance that we performed at the reception. It was a hit!

Getting ready for the wedding. Kayleigh enjoyed a bag of Doritos which was a very special treat.

Isn't he so handsome?

Dance Revolution

As you can see, Kayleigh and Zeb love to break it down once in a while. Kayleigh does this one dance where she looks like she is in a trance. I hope not!

Icee Shop

Kayleigh loves to get Icees from the store down the road from our house. This is her and her Granddy at the Juice Shop.
