Court Date

A year and a half ago I was rear ended with Sandra as my passenger.  Our poor Ford Fusion was totaled.  We worked with an attorney to seek damages from the accident.  The claim was finally settled, but Sandra had to go before the judge to finish her settlement.  It was very different to do this with her.  I testified about the accident, the judge asked her questions (which she wasn't expecting), and finally finished the settlement.  Glad that is over and there is no lasting damage from the accident!

Dancing Teens

Grandparents were in town for Owen's ordination.  We celebrated Bree's birthday that weekend and so while we were there the teens showed off some of the fun dance moves they have been learning.  It was so fun to see them working it out on the "dance floor" :)

Masquerade

This year we found  homeschool ballroom classes for the teenagers.  It was even being offered for free.  I got the teens there and Talmage loved it!  He made a special effort to be available for dance classes in January.  Once the daytime classes ended he started attending afternoon sessions and Friday night ones, when offered.  

One of the fun things they do is put on balls, or different dances.  Talmage and Sandra attended the Masquerade Ball that was Victorian Era themed.  They had fun picking out their costumes!  It was fun to see them all dressed up.  Talmage had worked really hard on learning the Viennese Waltz so he could participate for that dance.  He learned it just in time.  I love to see them developing talents and the joy that it brings them!

Sandra has been wanting contacts for a while (like years).  She finally got her dream come true!  I must admit that I was really used to Sandra wearing glasses.  I think she's beautiful either way!  I know what it's like to really want contacts so I don't blame her for being so excited about this new opportunity in her life ;).
