Thanksgiving 2008

It is hard to be so far away from family on the holidays so we were so excited to have a our good friends the salways to come and spend the day and pig out on turkey with us, especially since kelsi was so far away! (we missed you kels)
the day started with the annual football game where kenny gets to strut his stuff and nick and jack try to keep up with their old man.
emma loved the macys day parade!
of course we watched the cowboy's game and ashley was a freak over the jonas brothers halftime show! she is going to marry joe, of course.
jack sat around holding the Salway's new baby girl Brooklyn who was very stylin'
jane and kenny cooked and all had a great time!
thanks juliana and todd it was a lot of fun!

Cinq Positions des Pieds,

There are five basic positions of the feet in classical ballet, première position, seconde position, troisième position, quatrième position, and cinquième position. Every step or movement is begun and ended in one or another of these positions. And so it is with emma! It is great to find a ballet school who instructs in the same school of thought in ballet that i was taught, black leo, pink tights, french terms and a strict ballet mistress. of course no one could replace or be as strict as mistress swayze with her cane striking the floor everytime we made a mistake. i think emma's teacher is much more sweet and she loves ballet.
