Long Time No Post

What can I say?  We have been busy, busy, busy!!!  The girls are in the school routine and loving it.  Buttercup is busy with cheerleading and all of the fun social activities that eighth grade holds such as dances, sleepovers, and football games.  Snapdragon is enrolled at my new dance academy... Holy Rosary Dance Academy...and will be starting karate lessons at Holy Rosary soon.

 Yes, I have been blessed to be able to start my own dance academy at Holy Rosary.  I have a wonderful room with a full wall of mirrors and I have 50 students ranging from age 3 to 11 enrolled.  I teach two days a week after school.  I am having a blast and I have some incredible little dancers!

The pictures show our annual Autumn Moon Festival celebration and random shots of Buttercup cheerleading.  This year we made full moon cookies with a jade rabbit on each.  The girls also had their annual glow stick hunt and sent their wishes to the moon via helium balloon. 

In the Swing of Things!

We are all getting adjusted to our school schedule after one and a half weeks back!  Buttercup is enjoying her 8th grade year so far.  She has already been to two dances and there is another one next weekend!  We had a house full of girls Friday night and went to the opening football jamboree on Saturday. The cheers looked great!

Snapdragon is loving 4k!  She really enjoys visiting the centers each day.  I am beginning an afterschool dance program at Holy Rosary and so far the response has been great!  Our rectial will be May 5!  It's going to be a great year!

Back to School

We all had a wonderful first day!  Buttercup is ruling her school as an 8th grader this year and Snapdragon is in 4K at Holy Rosary.  I am still teaching 5th grade at Holy Rosary.  Wishing everyone a happy new school year!

All-American Cheerleader

Congratulations to Buttercup who was selected with two other friends from her squad as National University Cheer Association's All Americans!  We couldn't be prouder! 

Cincinnati Fun and Back to Reality

The girls and I had a wonderful time visiting with family and friends in Cincinnati for 10 days.  Now it's back to reality.  Buttercup started cheer camp today and I finished unpacking and cleaning up. We still have babysitting classes and VBS ahead of us! I am gathering and pricing items for the yearly consignment sale and I have to get cracking on the school work!  School starts August 10th!!!!!!!!

Happy Anniversary!

On June 26, 1993 this exciting adventure began!  We decided to celebrate our anniversary two days early since we are in Flordia!  18 years strong!
