Our little ballerina

Elizabeth had her first dance class on Tuesday and had a wonderful time. She was more excited than I can say....
There are only 4 or 5 girls in her class and she is the only new student, but she listened so well and tried so hard that it's not a problem. As soon as she came out of the studio she said, "Mommy, I can't wait to go back!" I feel so thankful that she can have this opportunity. She absolutely loves Angelina Ballerina, which, if you have girls, you probably know. She's a little mouse who wears a pink tutu and ballet slippers and loves ballet. Very cute. Anyway, that was the highlight of her week. She's also excited that her friens Abby and Aaron are back from a long trip to Canada.

Caleb....he's just Caleb. Sometimes he's so shy and clingy to Mommy. But today we went to the mall - one of our favorite summertime hangouts - to play in their kids' play area, and he climbed up on everything he could and he'd jump to whoever was standing there. He also walked around telling everyone "bye-bye". He has no fear. He climbs as high as he can, stands up, puts his hands up and yells "ta-daaa!"

Luke had a physical today. It was....interesting. He's in great health though, which is really no surprise. He's looking forward to the Steelers' pre-season game tomorrow night which is supposed to be on TV here. But we're also babysitting for our awesome babysitting co-op, so we'll see how much he can focus on TV....
