We had our first ballet recital yesterday - It was a great success. Here are some photos in our other blog, just click on the link... Photos Each class did a ballet performance which was followed by a great performance of Peter Pan. There will be another performance today and we will be able to purchase the video so that will be fun. Abigail really loves her class and said, "I hope ballet never ends!" - wonderful to love what you are doing, right?!?
We have had wild weather - high winds, rain hissing down with a few rounds of hail mixed in to make it all a bit more spicy! We are warm and dry so all is good. We love to see a storm and we are having lots of opportunities to do that.
We have only a few more basketball games - both teams have made it to the semi-finals! I hear through the grapevine that there are children at the school who are imitating the American hollering at the games (Dad, you would be proud and Wubus, you would cringe remembering how Dad cheered you on!). As we say, the nut doesn't fall far from the tree. The girls have come such a long way in basketball so maybe we will do it again next winter. Summer sports are on the horizon, field hockey, touch rugby, and others, we will soon sign up...
Apparently the kids at school are begging for Grace to talk "hillbilly". She does a really nice job! When working in the library she has kids put away books and rewards them with some hillbilly talk. Again that saying about the nut comes to mind. They call me cowgirl - I like that!!! If only I could find the boots - I came up empty in Australia as the pointy toe kind do not help a rancher much. I am hoping to find a fancy, very pointed-toe pair in Spain - what do you think? Matadors must need pointy toed boots, right?
I heard from some sweet girls in the States - thanks for calling! What a treat!!! We had a mexican feast that night to celebrate hearing from San Antonio - nachos with jalapenos, a $5 can of beans, chips, salsa, guacamole and Corona! De-lish!!!
Now that our friends have gone to the UK our phone rarely rings - thankfully Adrian's sister Janet calls! My dad calls too but we are not supposed to let Mama know that... Just kidding mama, you know he would never do that! He knows which side of the bread the butter is on... We also hear from Adrian's sweet friend Harry - he does love those calls.
Off we go to the next performance, no pre-performance jitters here! just some urgency about getting the makeup applied - cute! As our weekend comes to an end, I hope y'all enjoy the rest of yours. CHEERS!
