Fall Dance Recital

Last month, Micaela completed her second dance class and we're so proud of her progress and accomplishment. It was amazing to see how much she wanted to practice her dance steps and technique during the week to prepare for her weekly class Here's our beautiful girl:

Let Fall Begin

Thanks to the Collette's for inviting Andrea, a wife of a second year dental student (aka a "single" mother) and Micaela to a pumpkin patch in the nearby Hill Country (Love Creek Orchard). From the pictures taken, it was better time spent on a Saturday than being at home waiting for Bill to come home from studying all day. Andrea and Micaela were also able to go to another pumpkin patch with their learning play group.

Minnie Mouse

  Micaela was easily convinced to be Minnie Mouse this Halloween and Andrea did a great job in sewing her dress together after spending an hour using a pattern and then due to "artistic differences" finishing the dress freehanded. We had planned to have a Halloween party on the 30th for Minnie Mouse and all her friends, but due to a viral infection, it had to be cancelled, but luckily Minnie Mouse was up for trick or treating Saturday night.
