Thank you for everything-- we miss you!

Dancing Weekend

Shilah had 4 dance recitals this weekend-- whew! All of the talent group classes performed in a ballet/tap show called "The Christmas Attic." Shilah loved getting all done up for every performance!

My parents are in town through Thanksgiving-- stay tuned for pics!

Jazzercise Trip

Last weekend I traveled to Carlsbad, California for a Jazzercise convention. Here I am outside Jazzercise corporate headquarters!

I went with my friend & fellow instructor Jodi. Here we are waiting to go inside to the live taping of the next routine set!

BUSY!

It's been a busy busy week! I went on a trip to Carlsbad, California over the weekend to attend a Jazzercise taping. What an amazing time! And the girls had so much fun having a whole weekend with Shanti. Here are a few random pictures, and I'll post pictures from my trip soon!

Junior Jazzercise

I recently finished a set of junior Jazzercise sessions, which I did as an after school program at Shilah's school. I had 10 girls, and we had fun learning routines, doing crafts, & playing games! Here we are at the recital:

We coordinated with another nearby elementary school, and here we are as a big group:

Serena did all the practices, but got shy when it came to recital time. Apparently picking her nose was more exciting.
