Christmas Party @ Kendal

Erik took the girls and our friends, Jan-Barbara and Madeline to the Kendal Elementary School Christmas Party. 

L-R: Madeline, Grace, Barbara, Erik and Faith

 Faith was covered in icing when she arrived home, all over her hair, clothes, body and her coat. 

NDDA National Deaf Dance Academy

 Today Parents were invited to attend dance class with their children. It was too adorable for words and so is the teacher (2nd picture below) Faith's age group will perform 3 numbers in the spring. 1 Ballet, 1 Hip Hop and 1 Tap -- and an ending group number - I can't wait - it's gonna be awesome. Also lastly I attached a short and very grainy preview of a hip hop number. I just showed it to Faith and she turned red and covered her face - I asked her - why so embarrassed? --Because i'm shaking my but.

Below is a video and photo of the USDA coming to Kendall to teach about food safety - she came home with loads of booty' (treasures) (Our tax money China's money hard at work but thats another story for another blog - that I don't do:)  It was cool that she could participate. Look for Faith with 'Thermy' the mascot. '

Hands = L-O-V-E

Hands have a special meaning in our house. Our hands speak and yell and laugh and cry and teach and most importantly LOVE.
