Dance, little lady bug!

It's been weeks since my last post. I'm still hoping to get back and correct the record of a very busy New Year's and January with updates of our trip to San Diego, Owen's two lost teeth, the start of school, and much more ... but today belongs to Maya.

Maya had her first dance recital on Sunday afternoon. As you will see from the video, the performance was short but fun. There was some doubt whether she would actually make it to the stage. She missed last week's practice due to a very bad cold, so I learned her steps and we practiced at home. She was also very, very nervous the morning of the performance, but her mom did an excellent job encouraging her and inserting her into the group of waiting dancers. In the long run, she had a wonderful time and was beautiful on stage.

Great job, Maya!
