Dance Recital

Today was the 23rd Annual Dance Recital for Donna's Dance Works, held at Lower Moreland High School. Zoe was in two dances on her own and one dance with me. The first was two songs, Touch the Sky from the movie Brave and Dance Like Your Daddy. There is one thing you'll notice throughout all of her performances. See if you can spot it.



When her first dance was done, we had a moment to take a few pictures together. After that was the Dads and Daughters dance. This year's was set to Time of My Life from the movie Dirty Dancing. This was, by far, my favorite dance because I got the chance to be on stage with Zoe, but I feel that I could have used a lot more practice.



Finally Zoe was part of a tap number set to Come Fly With Me by Frank Sinatra where all of the girls were dressed as flight attendants and the little boy was the pilot. This one definitely had the best costumes.



Now did you notice the theme in the pictures? This may not be the most fair sample size, but in almost every one Zoe has such a sad look on her face. I won't say that she didn't enjoy doing dance, but I don't think she'll be signing up to continue. If you want to see more pictures, most of which are blurry, Flickr has an album from the night. There's also video of the performances.




Enjoy the videos. Zoe's not easy to spot, but in the Dads and Daughters dance, we're in the middle. You can tell where we are because we have the longest lift.

Election Day

When Zoe was born, Barack Obama was the president. Today the country is voting to determine who will be president for the next four years. It will still be a long time before Zoe gets to cast her own vote, but when Cheryl got home today, the two of them went around the corner to our voting center and did their civic duty. Cheryl took a couple of pictures. The girls are asleep now, and the race is still too close to call, but I assume when we get up tomorrow (hopefully not in the middle of the night) we'll know who who won. I hope everyone got out to vote today! As you can see by her sticker, Zoe did.

Italy - Day 6 - Rome

Since this was our last full day in Rome, we decided to head towards Vatican City. After crossing a bridge, we made our way down the steps to follow the Tiber because Zoe wanted to explore closer to the water. Approaching the Vatican, we stopped just out of smoting range, for Cheryl's protection, before deciding that the view from the gates would suffice. From there we decided we would head out to try some very highly recommended pizza from Bonci. Zoe had to make a stop along the way for some gelato and a bathroom break, which was great because it took an hour to get our food. That being said, it was totally worth the wait! The pizza was amazing and the deep fried pasta balls were bizarre and delicious. While Cheryl was waiting, Zoe and I bought from fresh fruit and vegetables so that she would have something to eat. After a late lunch, we decided to make our way home. As we were about to cross the river, we passed Castle San Angelo and decided to make a stop. Thi...

Italy - Day 2 - Rome

Waking up in Rome to the sound of industrial work, we decided that today we would focus on Villa Borghese and all it has to offer, primarily a row boat rental. On the way there we passed by Piazza del Popolo where we took a few pictures. Zoe grabbed a phone and snapped a few for us, too! Once in the park we made a beeline for the boat rental. Along that line there were fountains and flowers we had never seen before, so we stopped for a quick look. My favorite is Zoe taking her own selfies. She makes such wonderful faces. Making our way through all of the distractions, we found the lake that surrounds the Temple of Asclepius and rented a boat. We all hopped in and I rowed us out into the water, but it wasn't long before Zoe insisted that she could paddle the boat, so we swapped spots and the cutest boat captain took over. Now this is very important because if you ask Zoe or Cheryl they're going to tell you a completely different story. At one point in our ...
