Proud!

This past weekend the girls had their dress rehearsal for dance and I could not be more proud.  These three have put in hours of work and practice with their team.  They have learned multiple routines, spent hours at the studio and have done it all with a smile on their face.  They have been disciplined, devoted and cheerful through it all.  Today I got to watch from back stage and was beaming with pride.  I love the heart and energy they each bring to the stage.  Their smiles are priceless.  And I love watching them have so much fun with their teammates.  And an added bonus...Doug is a prop dad this year!  Proud of him too😊.  And thankful that we have the opportunity to make memories as a family through the girls art.

Squeaky Sue

After 6 days with a sore throat and a gradually fading voice, my voice box decided to call it quits today.

Can't forget Baby Fighter...the girls and I trekked to my 24 week appointment today and got to hear his/her heartbeat! It was strong and perfect!! Yay ! Although this little one likes to move as soon as the Doppler hears the heartbeat...stage fright? Ava was enamored by the whooshing sound and Kate just sort of sat there, unimpressed:-) So far, outside of a few minor aches and pains this pregnancy has been good. My BP was 116/58...no swelling...and on track as far as measurements. And my energy has been up lately so I'm praying this continues ( although we'll see how "cheery" I am 8.5 months pregnant, in the middle of August. All about the attitude...right??)!! And let me just tell you how funny it is to take a 3 year old to the OB office...Ava is going through a "why" and "what's that" phase and it definitely added some comedy to the doctors, nurses and my day:-) So excited for Baby Fighter's arrival!!
