Welcome to our crazy life....

When I grew up I had the wonderful benefit of living a bike ride away from both sets of grandparents. Not so lucky are our kids. Even for the actual ones that live in Atlanta, it's still a about an hours drive away! So, this blog will have to serve as the next best thing to riding our bikes to see the grandparents. Enjoy watching our kids learn and grow one day at a time...

Tuesday morning Fun


The kids have a new game with Madie and the tunnel....Madie crawls to one side and Elizabeth rushes over to that side to say boo, then Madie turns around and crawls to the other side but alas Caleb's there as well, all three kids crack up and do it again....we've only been up 15 minutes and already they are playing!

Believe it or not, sometimes people Other then Me get a wild hair to rearrange the house...

We moved the bed, and now both our desks are by a window. (you can't see mine but its behind the pillows by the window)
Poor David lost his comfy chair, but now I get the benefit of it too! This is a perfect reading spot now....
In order to make the new arrangement fit, my dresser ended up in the closet. Here's what I will be doing tomorrow.....
Then. Someone, decided to make one bed room the playroom.....
and the other room the sleeping room! (note previous picture, we do not need new toys for Christmas....)
Caleb helped move all the blocks into the living room while we move all the furniture....guess I forgot to mention to stack them nicely.

thoughts,...

you know some times you just can't figure everything out at once. and I hate that. One minute everything is cool the next it's the end of the world. One of these days I'll get it all figured out and stay on top of everything. but that's not now. At least the weather is nice, I love October. Btw I am thinking about switching to wordpress for my blogging, I'll keep everyone posted on how that works out. Also, why doesn't anyone write a good writing program for home schoolers? I just can't ever find one I like.....

Is it wrong to use your children for Advertising?




PDATL '08

This is what happened this past weekend, Project Dance Atlanta. Here's my dinning room table with piles of papers for the event, thank you notes and candy!



Friday's events were held at the Westin Downtown. Here's the band setting up for Friday Night Live, all the tables for Registration and Expo.















Ava, Cheryl's daughter, helping stuff goodie bags and my amazing Refuge Dance company getting things done with smiles on their faces. They all were such amazing help this weekend. This wouldn't have happened without their dedication and service.

Unfortunately, no one took pictures of anything on Saturday, we were too busy! But we have two professional photographers taking care of that for us, so I will post those when they are ready.




Sunday I got my Contemporary Class on! I had like some 30 plus dancers take my class, we were packed out! Above I am teaching part of Gravity, my piece about weakness. In the picture to the side, my Bff Angella came down for the whole weekend and we got to take the last class together, Stephen's modern class. Randy gave us both new shirts from Ad Deum so we wore them and danced side by side like old times!!!! Below me leading my class in one of our favorite stretches, man I hurt even thinking about it.... Monday I woke up SO SORE.




What an amazing weekend it was, we had a wonderful time on Friday, my mom help out with the kids so much. They had a blast at the hotel swimming and playing. Saturday we had an audience the entire day and despite some technical problems we danced no-stop from 12 noon to 6pm! Sunday everyone had wonderful storied to tell about meeting people in the park, and sharing Christ to what God has done in their hearts through this weekend. We danced till we couldn't dance no more!!!! Glorious!
