A Season of Firsts

In my brief -- and I use the term "brief" loosely -- hiatus from the blogging world, our family has been experiencing a lot of firsts. For the FIRST time, DC took a tap and ballet class. To say she was excited about her clickety, clackety tap shoes would be the understatement of the year ...



'nuff said.

Miss Priss started her FIRST season of soccer.
If we post video of any practices or games, it will not be hard to see why we've also decided that this is probably her LAST season of soccer.

And little Mini Man also experienced a FIRST ... crawling!!! We have all been so ecstatic to see him on the move. I haven't gotten any real good video of it yet because he stops whatever he is doing the second he sees a camera on him. I'll have to try sneaking around from behind tomorrow. It took him 13 and a half months, but to us it's nothing short of a miracle. There's been a whole lot of clapping, cheering, and high pitched screams of "Yeah! What a good boy!" goin' on around here. And he LOVES the attention. Shoot, if everyone cheered for me every time I got up and moved around, I'd feel like a rock star too. All tuckered out after a day on the run.

Oh my, where was that video taken? That is so freaking cute! I bet her parents were just grinning from ear to ear.
I hear you on the soccer thing, not a big fan here either!
AND the best news of all time....what an awesome little boy. I really really want to get down there and see you guys and just hang out. My mom gets her buddy passes this month. Maybe Bess and I will fly down for a couple day visit.
What a great family!

Oh, blasted cute all around! You may have a little Doris Day on your hands there- she taps with a lot of soul! As for Miss Priss- good girl givin it a shot! She is very cute in those shots. Ans mini man- YAHOOOOOOOOO! Does that mean that even if there is any CP, there'd be no chance of a wheelchair? In any event- what a stud! We are so excited!

The video of DC reminds me of the lovely tap dance we witnessed in our living room back in March. She is still as spunky and full of life as ever.
And great news on the little man crawling!!!! Amazing progress! We love you guys.
