The Nutcracker Ballet 2009
Shani’s first big stage performance. She did so well and remembered all her steps. She was the smallest one there and it was so cute and funny, I laughed so hard I cried.
Kyla was a cute mouse and a doll. She danced so nicely and acted out her mouse part very well. I’m so proud of them both! 
Snow
Kyla’s and Shani’s first snow.

Sad day. But I’ve got a tree and a board, now all I need is a bucket with a hole.
I love his art.

Peace One Day
Seems fitting to break my blogging hiatus to post this video. I watched this entire film, and actually cried for a couple minutes as it reached it’s conclusion–still trying to figure out exactly why I had such a strong and rare (for me) emotional response to this.
