Dance, Dance, Dance

Contest season for dance is well underway. Mekinna has competed in 2 contests this year, and she has 2 more coming up. Last weekend, she competed with her solo for the first time this year and . . . SHE WON! We are so excited for her because she has worked so hard. She has dance class 2 nights a week, and then she practices her solo another night. She has so much fun dancing and competing . . . we are so PROUD!

HOME

We FINALLY moved into our new house. It has been a long, daunting process, but it was worth the wait. The enormity of the house, and the work that had to be done was overwhelming, but we're seeing the light at the end of the tunnel.
Before we moved in, we had the entire house painted as well as the downstairs floors redone. Now, we're able to really get the house in order. The girls settled into their new rooms well, and they don't even seem scared about being upstairs. I think the biggest adjustment has been on the adults in the house. However, we are settling in more and more each day.
There is still work to do, but things are coming along. We are so grateful to those who have spent so much time and effort helping us with our new home.
