Movin' On Out...

Belle, before the chaos started...

Good-bye, Crystal Creek house! You've been good to us. We will miss you!

Many happy memories were made here! It was a bit sad to leave our home of the past six and a half years, but I'm looking forward to making more memories in our new home in Parkland!

Lack of a Christmas Card...

...leads us to this. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! We will send out "We've Moved" cards as soon as we can! Until then, here are our photos from Turks and Caicos!

More Good-byes...

sweet dance friends...

Olivia and Lainey

Ella and Lainey

Dawn and me

Vivienne and me

I could not have made it through "dance mom life" without these friends. They are a source of unconditional love, support, and laughter. Love these ladies! (Plus a few more who are not pictured!!!) 

Saying Good-bye to Coach Parker

Coach Parker has worked with Walker for almost a year now...and Walker teared up upon leaving him last night. :( It was our last lesson, and Walker will miss him greatly. Seeing Walker tear up made ME tear up and that was not fun!

Here is my constant, ever-loving, sweet little dog....she's by my side 100% of the time when I'm at home. Unless she accidentally falls asleep somewhere and doesn't hear me get up and move. This girl can make lemonade out of lemons. Hence the two random pillows that she turned into a bed. ;) 

Walker Loves his Cousins

...especially when they are helping with carpool when he arrives at school. :) 

NUVO Dance Convention / Competition

This past weekend, Lainey competed at her final convention/competition with Dance Industry. She handled the weekend beautifully and did her very best. I got a bazillion photos because I know we will miss these people very much!

The studio owner captured this picture of Lainey and Lulu. So sweet. 

Lainey got second place overall and a "DJ's Pick"! She was thrilled!
