First Night

It was opening night last night for Katharine and Keira, as the Texas Ballet Theater kicked off their Nutcracker show at the Winspear in Dallas.

Here is a video that a friend took of Keira making her entrance in front of a full house (she is the first dancer out on stage at the start of the show):

First Fire

The morning temperatures dropped into the upper 30's over the weekend, so we started up the fireplace.

Keira was a big fan, joined her stuffed animals and a real one.

Shake for Two

Fox and Lennon shared (more like devoured) a shake at Nerdvana last week.

Fun Running

The girls ran in their school's annual "Fun Run" last Friday. 

Keira ran over 50 laps, and Kassidy just over 30. 

Now I have to pay up :)

Back Seat Strumming

Lukas is getting good with the guitar, and he played me a song (from Nirvana, of course) when I was driving him home from lessons on Friday.

Choir Practice

Peculiar PJ's

Next year we are just going to buy them new pajamas for their Halloween costumes..

For the Vets

Keira drew a card for the veterans that all of her classmates signed.

Fans and Fingers

FC Dallas got knocked out of the playoffs last night, but we had a great time watching them all year with Fox joining our crew.

Halloween

The kids continued their annual tradition of trick or treating in the Milette's neighborhood, while I continued my tradition of staying home and watching my big TV really loud in the empty house :)
