Allison on the balancing beam

She wants to do gymnastics now. We went to a gymnastics birthday party and she loved it.

New blog

I started a second blog just for my dance friends to be able to go to for their daughters to practice the dance recital songs, so I won't be posting them here, but if you're still wanting to see them, they will be at DancingAllieCat.blogspot.com

The first two are after they shoveled.


This door is up a step. This snow is really deep to come up this high.

Catie dancing to Going to the Chapel

Allison didn't do so well in class this week.

Catie's recital.

The girls each have to songs. This one is Going to the Chapel. She's just learning it
so I will be posting more closer to recital time.

Jaden's entry for the Poetry Jam

I'm nine years old,
saying goodbye to my friends.
I may never see them again.
My mom picks me up from school.
our suitcases are in the trunk.

We reach the huge building,
with the metal birds.
My mom makes me get on.
After thirty minutes of security checks,
we soar for four hours.

We arrive in this new world.
Everything is green
and there are tons of lakes.
I enjoy my summer,
even if I have yet to meet friends.

The leaves are dying now
and it's getting cold.
White aliens fall from the sky.

Im 14 years old
in this new world.
I've gotten used to it,
but I still miss the old one.
