We've had quite the flury of activity lately and it doesn't stop for a good few days. Friday night Ella had a makeup Tumbling class on account of we missed all but one week of December due to cold/snow/holidays. The class was just she and her good friend Abby and Abby's sister Morgan. It was cool to see what they were willing/able to try with such individual attention.
Saturday we spent the day in Minnesota, mostly in order to see Leah and Emma as Tom had a game in Owatonna. We spent a few hours playing at Cabella's then had dinner with the Dasovich's (minues head coach Tom of course) at Famous Dave's before heading over to the game. It's so neat to see the girls all developing such unique relationships. I'm gald they are able to remain friends, and hope they always have this lasting friendship. Emma is totally sweet, she's quite the hugger as you may be able to tell from the pictures! We did dinner, game and a quick stop at Caribou to play and grab a quick coffee before heading home in PJs. Leah and I enjoyed watching the girls and the game, even if the refs needed a little of our help. Enough in fact that I'm still rather hoarse. Seriously, though, how is it possible, to shoot a freethrow, miss three tips, travel the length of the floor and call a foul, only to realize the clock hadn't started the entire time....and NOT choose to take time off? WHAT? They totally deserved it. Tom's team won (#2 in Minnesota...check out Dasohoops.blogspot.com)
The girls and I checked out a new church on Sunday - Freedom Ridge in Ames. It's a beautiful place and we hope to be able to become a part of their regular community of followers.
Last night was Chris and I's first of four tickets to the Theater in Des Moines. We were fortunate enough to see Spring Awakening - winner of 8 Tony Awards, including best musical this year. It was well deserved. We loved it.
Tonight was our first winter trip to the indoor pool. The girls had a blast, and are rightly exhausted. Tomorrow is Muffins with Mom at preschool (so much fun!) and we're FINALLY haivng Brooklyn over for a playdate. Ella has talked of her nonstop since school started in the fall, and it would seem ALWAYS holds her hand when they walk to chapel "two by two!" So she's coming over for lunch then an hour or so of play in the afternoon. Ella couldn't be more excited.
We've changed AWANA programs, Ella was a puggle at a chruch nearby, but we discovered she could get into the cubbie class (what? you need explaination??? Puggles is the 2-3 year old class, cubbies is 3-4, for some reason the first program we used wouldn't push her up...) so we're doing that with the aforementioned Abby, who has become quite a good friend this winter. Abby has two sisters, one older (Morgan) and one younger (Olivia- Mia's age) and a mom - Molly - we much enjoy their company and have seen quite a lot of them this season at indoor park and nursing home trips. It's been fun to make new friends and glean new lessons and blessings them.
That's where we've been...what say you?
