Dance Lessons!!!

Yes, you heard right! Miracles never cease! Rob agreed to take ballroom dance classes with me. This is a dream come true for me. I have always wanted to take any kind of dance lessons that I could.

We will be taking the lessons on Thursday nights for the next 6 weeks. We only have to drive a few miles down the road to a place called Mashburn Lake for our lessons.

This past Thursday we went to the open house and learned the basic steps for the waltz. It was sooooo fun! Rob even admitted that he liked it. Our friends Jamie and Adrienne Webb went to the open house with us and are going to be taking lessons as well.

First

Our little Wyatt is growing up quickly. This was his first time in the highchair. He is such a good natured little boy. He just sat there and played while I cooked supper. He is just 4 months old, but can scoot around in circles on the floor. He is very strong for his age, and can already push himself up on all fours.

Sleep

Sleep is something Rob and I didn't get much of last night. I am writing about this incident with the hope that one day I will be able to look back and smile at these kind of memories. The kids had all been asleep for an hour or so and Rob and I were just falling asleep when Wyatt woke up for the first time. He went on to wake up 3 or 4 more times that night. Anna Lea kept waking up crying every hour or so with a runny nose. Layla woke up and came down to our bedroom about 4 am, and Rob took her back upstairs to put her back to bed. Wyatt had woken up again in the meantime. We finally thought we might get a little sleep before Rob had to get up for school, but it was Anna Lea's turn to wake up crying again! Finally I brought her down to try sleeping in our bed, but she threw up on our bed so we had to move to the couch while Rob changed the sheets. She finally fell asleep for an hour or two on the couch and I got a little sleep curled up on our love seat. This is a picture of her the following day. She still wasn't feeling the best, but that didn't stop her from continually pulling out this huge box of Lucky Charms. I would give her some to eat, but she would only pick out the marshmallows and would leave the others for me to clean up.

Lipstick

Rob recently brought home some lipstick for Layla to play with. She is 100 percent girl and loves makeup and jewelry, and anything to do with dressing up. She had an absolute blast using every last drop of the lipstick that she could scrape out of the container. I would ask her if she thought she had enough on, and she would tell me, "no, I think I need a little more over here". She didn't mind posing for a few pictures in between slathering it on either.
