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.

Paris - Day Five: Louvre, More Gardens, Photobooths, Macaroons, Love

Today was scheduled to be a somewhat random day. We didn't have anything specific we were planning to do, meaning no pre-purchased tickets, but a number of stops to make and things to see. The first stop on our list for the day was a photobooth that was out near Moulin Rouge. It was in a giant, open gallery space where there were people dancing and vendors selling food. We found the booth and took a few pictures. Right near the booth there was an old trailer of some sort that was converted in to a little library. Since Zoe loves books, even if they're in a language she doesn't read, she went in and browsed the selection. She then said she'd like one of these for our house back home. We'll see what we can do. She didn't actually take the book with us, but she wanted to pose with it. At this point it was time to get something to eat, so we hopped on the Metro and took it to Cafe des 2 Moulins, the restaurant from the movie Amelie. The food was great, the...

Girls Night Out Dance

Zoe has her first dance at school, the Girls Night Out Dance, where she brought me as her date. It had been quite some time since I was at such a formal affair, but thankfully I was still able to squeeze in to my suit. Zoe looked as gorgeous as her mother with her fancy clothes, her makeup, and the big bow in her hair. We took a few pictures before we left for the dance, just to capture the moment. I drove us over to the school, and we arrived right on time, beating the crowd. A few of Zoe's friends were there, and before they turned the lights off, I took one, not-so-good, picture. It is nice to know that, as time goes by, some things never change. There was very little dancing for the two of us at the dance. She was very interested in the snacks (treats), the lights that were on the tables, but mostly in the pull up bar at the back of the gym. She spent a solid 15 minutes moving around gym mats so she could stand on them and hang from the bar. Other kids came and went,...

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.
