On Guard! and Other Moments I Want to Remember

Faith and Cannon sparring in an early morning duel- a pan lid for a shield and drum sticks for weapons.

I quite look forward to watching these two grow up together. They are just a bit over 2 years apart. Cannon is the dominant one both physically and audibly (he is very loud). Faith is very sweet with him and finds retreat is usually the best course of action.







She tries to look tough, but come on! Who does she think she is kidding?




















Bethany is re-reading a Mary Pope Osborne series of Tales of the Odyssey. Both she and Clark really enjoyed these books so I recommend them for young (and not so young) readers.



















Bethany had a dance performance this afternoon. She did very well and Abe kept saying, "I didn't know she had gotten so good!" She has moved past little girl stage where it is just so cute to see them up there, to actual dancing and staying together and choreography.

We are making a change for dance at the new year. She will start at a studio closer to home that is more ballet and less jazzed-based. She will just focus on ballet (at least for a while). It will be less of a time and financial commitment. Hooray on both counts!

Sometimes it is difficult for me to physically restrain myself from eating her up.
Abe and Clark made a little snow fort in the back yard.













Oh, the joy of childhood. There are some pictures that just say it all. This is one of them.
