Our snow has melted… But before it did, Jordan spent as much time out in the cold stuff as possible. I actually had to bribe her with hot chocolate to come inside. I caught a few moments of her outside… she wanted to build a snowman, but we didn’t really have that much snow. But…

The outdoor swimming season isn’t over for us! To add to the fun… Jordan was in a show off mode yesterday. First, she was all about grooving and dancing to the music at the pool last night. It was almost totally empty now that the school year has started so she had all kinds of…

Tonight’s the big night… and like many dance studios, we aren’t allowed to take pictures or shoot video during the actual performance.
