Dancing through December

Here we are on a very cold day in Houston and sweet Mia had her first dance recital...really a dance "demo" to show the parents where their hard earned money is going to....Our little ballerina was so cute!  First they did a ballet portion....

Then after a quick costume change it was onto tap...

Overall it went great.  Not surprisingly Mia was talking through the whole thing - following directions here and there but really just laughing through the entire recital and so excited to have family there watching her moves.

And speaking of moves - our little Morgan is now officially crawling.  She can most certainly get where she wants but hasn't yet started moving at a speed where we can't catch her - THANK GOD!  I know that day will come soon!  

On the road again

We (Mat, the girls, Grandmom Paula and Ben) hit Dallas last weekend to visit Mat's cousins, Drew/Christy, their darling new baby Velvie, and of course Aunt Terri/Uncle Bill.  It was so funny to see Morgan and Velvie together.  Morgan's 2 months older and when you put them together they just kind of stare at each other.   Morgan also kept wanting to grab Velive and I think if I could have heard her thoughts Morgan would have been saying, "I want to put your hand in my mouth, ok maybe just a finger, anything?!"  EVERYTHING goes into her mouth these days...she's even gotten a little munch out of mom's arm and that isn't so much fun for me!  

Here's just a really cute shot of the girls.  Mia sure loves her little sister and Morgan is just fine as long as Mia's around....and not messing with her too much :)
