Today marks the 26th month since our paperwork has been logged in with China. We expect it to be at least another 24 more months.
Ah well...more time to save money till the big event, and more time for our love for her to grow in our hearts.
And we’ll be posting about it again in two more months.
We are now officially counting the days to remind ourselves about month number 28.

Showcase
06/08/09 22:00 Filed in: Performances
We have a couple new performances to present.
The first of which is the Spring Performance for her dance class. In a later post we’ll display her ballet and tap dance performace which is taught by a different dance teacher. The first performance in this one is so cute because the girls become “bottle necked” when they start to move into a circle. We could really see Cadence’s ballet steps in this showcase, even though she is not learning ballet in this class. She points her toes and fingertips and tries to be so graceful.
The second performance, Scott attempted to do picture-in-picture. Next time one of us will stay close up and the other will stay full screen, and we’ll see if we like that better.
We have an opportunity to keep her in this particular class as she moves to Kindergarten in the Fall, because the dance teacher has classes in the Elementary school also. We’re just not sure if we want to keep her in this class or move on to one that will train more dance. We do know that she LOVES dance and performances, and she always has. If she’s not performing in a dance arena, she’s performing in the living room. She’s going to be one of those kinds of kids that uses performance as an outlet.
No matter what else we do, she’s going to continue in gymnastics. But it’s very sad thinking that this might have been her last dance performance. My baby’s growing up. I’ll be going thru a lot of the baby-growing-up-whining these days. She’s already graduated from the dance class and ballet/tap dance, and in only a week she’ll be graduating from preschool. This time in her life is a major life change.
And although I’m so anxious to see who she evolves into, I’m a mess, knowing that I’ll never have that little baby back again. Hold on to them while you can. Hug them when they ask you. Rock them in the chair when they need it. sing to them, read to them, cuddle with them. It all goes so fast. I’m grabbing mine up every chance I get these days.
Here are some before/after still pictures from the performances of the past...
