Life is crazy sometimes. Crazy, and funny, and sad, and frustrating, and all together good. While many of you can appreciate life with little kids, I'm sure that most of you would just like to catch up with us. We all live so far away, that we miss the day to day happenings, and this is a small way of trying to keep everyone connected. We'd love to hear from you, so please feel free to post comments.

Body Zone Ice Show

Nina just finished a week of ice skating camp at the Body Zone. She started to cry this morning because she thought it was for the whole summer, not just a week. It's good to know that she loves it so much. There were about 30 kids. Nina and her friend, Katie, were two of the youngest, but since they've both been skating for 2 years, they were the most experienced. They have all sorts of fancy tricks, and they look even more impressive next to a bunch of 11 year olds that can't stand in skates. This boosts Nina's ego incredibly and makes her both cocky and hard to live with for the remainder of the day....that is until she gets together with the 7 year olds, and they blow her away.
Goofing around.


A pretty good spiral. She spent many, many weeks flat on her face before she was able to balance enough to glide across the ice.


Going into her waltz jump. I've been reading my digital camera handbook. I need to practice shooting in the arena more because the light bouncing off the ice and glass enclosures makes the pictures not as clear. Asher...well, he would have none of that. I had to hold him in one arm, and manipulate the camera with the other. I'll take what I can and practice another time.
