Running and Dancing

We've almost made it to the weekend! Good job, you! It has been a very busy week and I'm hoping for some down time this weekend. Maybe a nap. You? Dave had the flu last weekend but he still ran a 10 mile race - the Goldy race - U of M thing. H did pretty awesome too! 1:28:09!


Way to go, Dave! You did us proud!

Pretty much all this week we have had this amazing beautiful weather and we have been spending a lot of time at parks and walking around lakes and whatnot. We also had ballet Tuesday and the St. Paul Ballet company put on performances from their spring selection. I can't say enough about how much I love ballet Tuesday, the 2nd Tues of each month at the Landmark center. It is casual enough, a lunch time that just happens to have ballet going on in the middle - that you don't have to stress about the kids running around or talking. Yet the performances are really worth watching - along with the beautiful dancing, there are little lessons in classical ballet, the history and technical terms explained and demonstrated, different techniques are taught. And best of all - Riley and Joe love it. They are riveted and live for the moment at the end they can rush up to the performers, get a little toy or treat from the basket, and have a "lesson" with real ballerinas :)

Riley has been inspired. She has been showing off her new tricks at home and dancing to every classical song that comes on, and she has been passing on her wisdom too.
The blanket was her princess cape. Obviously.

Well, we must be off. Happy Thursday everyone!
