Good-bye Dinner & Baby Belle

I was lucky enough to meet these ladies back in 2011...we've been close ever since! Our kids attended preschool together and I can't BELIEVE I have to leave them! I will miss them like crazy...

And just because this is funny...

I can't believe Belle lets Lainey hold her like that! She's like a baby. ;) 

Lainey's Photoshoot with Morgan

Lainey and Morgan took some photos with my camera...they were inspired by Jordan Matter. He takes photographs of dancers and performers in real-life situations. His work is impressive! I think the girls did a great job! :) 

Miscellaneous November Photos

In no particular order... :)

In early November, we took time to meet Baby Carter (the sweet baby boy belonging to Lainey's former dance teacher, Rachel). Lainey was in Heaven being able to hold him!

Lainey and Anya at Adrenaline, a dance convention that Lainey attended this past weekend

This group didn't move very quickly.

Holding Belle...she's back home with us now that the house has basically been sold! :)

NYCDA Dance Convention / Competition (Houston)

A couple of weekends ago, Lainey and I went to Houston where she competed at NYCDA and took convention classes, as well. I apologize in advance for the amount of photos... :-/ I hope you enjoy these one day, Lainey!

One of the best parts of the weekend...having cousin Charli in class!

It was so fun to see both Andi AND Charli! We love the Esser girls!

We stayed overnight in Houston on Sunday...instead of driving home Sunday night. We stayed with Kate, Stefo, Lucie, and Eva. I didn't get a picture of Lainey with the girls, but I did get a picture of Lainey with their new kitten, O'Meara. ;)
