Belise goes to Ballet!

This week is kind of a fun week because Kyra is staying with us all week long!! Kim has to work and her sitter couldn't watch Kyra the last week so we get to. Ellie is very excited, of course.

Today was the start of Ballet!!! The place where she is taking ballet sent us a reminder in the mail the other day and it said "To: Belise Weber". So, we have been calling Ellie "Belise". Anyway, we went to ballet (and Kyra joined in as well). It was so fun to watch the girls. Ellie really loved it! She was really into doing whatever the teacher was doing. It was a little distracting having a cousin there, but they both did remarkably well for a first time ever ballet class. We are excited for her to continue taking classes. She looked SOOO cute all dressed up!

It was a little tricky getting all three car seats to fit in the Carolla. But we did it!!! It was even trickier taking all three kids out by myself today. At ballet, I took Owen out, then Ellie and made Ellie and Kyra hold hands while I was holding one of their hands. Later, I just put Kyra and Owen in the stroller and made Ellie hold onto the stroller.

I was also very brave today and took all three kids to Chuck E. Cheese! We stayed for about two hours and that was probably two too many. It was a lot of work. Ellie usually is pretty clingy so she tends to play by me most all of the time, but Kyra likes to wander a bit more, so it was interesting trying to chase down both the girls while holding Owen at the same time! On the way home, all three kids fell asleep. It was glorious.
Here is sweet Owen. This picture, I think looks so much like my dad. I think because it shows his lip flattened out a bit that you can see more McPherson features.
Owen is teething like crazy. His top four teeth are broken through and a fifth on the top right is almost there. He's also got his third and fourth teeth on the bottom coming up strong. Needless to say, he's been a little cranky recently, but you would be too, in his situation. Once he gets some Orajel slathered on his gums, it's back to the easygoing lovebug we know.
