Spotlight Dance Competition

Our last dance competition of the season was today in Milwaukee. We drew the early 6am arrival slot which was a bit tough on all of us, but we performed our hearts out!

Magnolia Market

Mom and Dad escaped for a few days to Waco, Texas. Mom has always wanted to see Magnolia Market at the Silos, so they took a few days and headed down there. While there they also got to swing through Austin and visit Morgan and enjoy some amazing BBQ at The Salt Lick BBQ.

Thunderstruck Dance Competition

 

Still dancing over here! Today it was Thunderstruck here in Milwaukee. 

Inferno Dance Competition

Our second dance competition of the season. Still dancing in masks and one studio at a time. Better than not dancing at all though.

Halloween 2020

We all waited in angst as we were certain Trick or Treat would be canceled this year thanks to the never ending germs. We signed up for Trunk or Treat at the club because that at least gave us an option in the case it really did get canceled. With a full moon and warm temps, we turned out to be one of the lucky ones and not only did we go Trunk or Treating, but we got to go Trick or Treating too! Many communities around us did cancel, but Mequon kept the tradition alive with a few new rules. Most people left candy out on tables, kids were required to wear masks, and the numbers were definitely low, but we had fun. Lily's friend, Kallie, joined us this year because her city did cancel, and Max ended up hanging with his friends JJ and Rhys. It turned out to be a great Halloween when all was said and done!

Teenagers In the House

Say what...there are two teenagers in the house! Today we celebrated turning 13, an age Mom and Dad are both excited about and dreading. We celebrated with lots of phone calls and texts, some giant balloons, and a great dinner out at the club. No party this year due to Covid, but we definitely felt the love from near and far. After dinner we opened presents and I am confident in saying that Lily (and Max) loved The Comfy she got.

4 Year Checkup

 

Maxwell had his four year checkup today. This appointment was a bit different from years past. Mom had to phone when she arrived and then they called her back when they were ready. She and Max had to enter through the side door to avoid the waiting room with masks on. Their temperatures were taken upon entry and they were asked a series of questions. They obviously passed, because Max made it to the exam room. Here he came in at just over 37 pounds (62%) and 38.5" tall (13%). Everything else checked out great and hopefully he will not have to return until he turns 5. The only negative was upon arrival they found out that the dreaded 5 year old shots got bumped up to 4...that meant two shots in the upper arm which no one ever enjoys.
