The Sea People and the Princess

The girls (and Lucas) put on a play for us today. It was all about a princess and a baby who one day went down to the beach. She left the baby unattended for just a moment when some sea people found the baby and took her home to the lagoon. They made him special so that he could breathe under water. The princess came back but didn't find the baby. After a while the sea people met up with the princess and set upon a series of baby trades. Each one took turns taking care of the girl baby for a day. Eventually they decided that something better needed to be worked out. So the sea people came ashore and sprinkled special powder on the princess and she was transformed into a sea person!! After some happy dancing they all lived happily ever after.

The girls posed for a picture in the "sea". I thought the play was especially cute, especially seeing poor Lucas being passed back and forth all through the play. (Lucas was happy to oblige his sisters and dressed up as a happy girl baby) I can tell that the future will likely contain more Lucas "girl" pictures!

Daddy Daughter Dance

John took the girls to the "Daughter of my Heart" dance, a fun event our school hosted for Valentines Day. Katie John and Sariah have been looking forward to this "date night" with their dad for about two weeks. There was a chocolate fountain, pictures and tons of dancing. They really had a great time.

Dancing Girls (and boy)

Traditions continue! My sisters and I used to swirl and twirl in our dancing dresses to this same music, but on vinyl!

Today is rainy, so entertainment is limited. The girls love dressing up and dancing so this was their chance to do their thing with the music turned up loud. Jonah assisted Keira's twirling because she kept tripping on her dress.

What a cute group!
