Prayer Request and Ballet Experience

Hi everyone!!! What did you do tonight?? Well, we escorted our two little ballerina's to their first class. They were mighty cute and they loved EVERY minute of it!! The class is at the church and is really informal. It is for 3 and 4 year olds. The kids thought it was so wonderful to wear their "dress up" clothes to church...i just hope they don't ask to wear dress up clothes on Sunday, but they probably will!! Miss Lindsey is their teacher...she is an 18 year old who is just teaching them some basic ballet movements. So, we asked Taylor what she learned...."I learned how to warm up like this Daddy....". Stretching is very important. We weren't sure how Maddie would do, but she just did what Taylor was doing so it was really funny. My favorite part of the class was when they were supposed to glide gracefully over three blocks in the middle of the floor. Most kids trotted...some missed the blocks completely some actually made it over. Then there was Maddie. The very last one to go.....she RAN....all the way to the blocks...STOPPED abruptly and then did a two foot JUMP over them. Not so graceful...but she was SO PROUD of herself. "Mommy, I jump over the blocks."....yes you did my darling!!! It was great....I think they are going to LOVE this!!

Now, for a prayer request for my hubby. Don is going in tomorrow for five major medical exams in order for our new neuroligist to create a baseline for future care. Since Don's exact disorder is so rare...doctor's are wanting to stay on top of changes and concerns or needs. The tests will include pulminary, ekg, and mri. These will be done tomorrow morning at the hospital. We are glad that these tests will get done, but at the same time I guess a little apprehensive about what the results will be and mean and how that will affect where we go from here. We have a friend of ours from YFC coming over tomorrow morning to watch the girls, so I can go and help Don get through all of this. On Tuesday we will be doing the same thing...with a new batch of tests and all day testing. Please pray for Don's body, the doctors, our nerves, and our little ones during this time!! We will keep everyone posted on what goes on from here. Thanks!!

Enjoy all these pics...sorry some of them are just of heads...my kids seriously can't hold still two seconds for a picture!!!!!!!!
