Busy baby Sunday

So yesterday was a busy day. Woke to incredible pouring rain, but we wanted to go to church anyway. I wanted selenite to get to show off his new baby daughter on Father's Day. So we got everybody bathed and dressed and on the road, and only got somewhat wet getting there.

They had the pink carnation up on the altar for Alanna's birth. I had Karl take a pic of us with it. We enjoyed showing her off a bit. I felt really pleased to be able to sing again.

We spent the afternoon over at fordprfct's, and took a few more pics. I kept wanting another good shot of selenite with her but didn't get it. Maggie's pretty pleased with this one

Dance class begins

Maggie started her first dance class today. Alanna and I dropped her off.

Cute little row of pale-pink-clad little girls sitting cross-legged in a row. I stuck my head in and asked which shoes she should start out in - ballet, apparently - I was going to go change her shoes but the teacher invited her to come sit by her and she'd help Maggie change shoes. Probably because I had the baby strapped to my chest.

I *wish* Jamie could have started class, too. Not least because of the fun of breaking up the incredible homogeneity of the row of little girls... Well, hopefully next year he'll be verbal and behaved enough to think about it.

Hovering mothers in the hallway with camcorders. We have More Dignity than that. Okay, I took a picture of her after class, but here at home. selenite picked her up on his way home from work, and says the teacher reported she was a good listener.
