Pilates, PTD, Swings & Ears

Weird title but that's whats been going on in our lives....This weekend was super grueling to say the least. I completed my Beginner Pilates mat certification. It was very gratifying and I can't wait to teach.



I saw the Paul Taylor Dance Company perform on Saturday. They performed three dances. Its funny how I have forgotten how much dance was part of my life. Those same feelings I used to get when I performed started building in me. I was a little sad when it was over because I wanted that feeling to continue. I of course got to see my good friend Francisco perform for the first time in 9 1/2 years and it was beautiful to watch. http://www.ptdc.org/ Melissa came with me and had never seen modern dance before; she was blown away.



Daniel finished putting together Marissa's new playhouse/swing set. It is massive and amazing...we owe every thanks to my friend Bartley who GAVE the set to us. It has a rock wall and a fort and a slide and two swings and a gymnastics bar and its the new hit. Today Marissa said she wanted to go home to play on her playground!



Speaking of Marissa. She also has a brand new ear infection. She has been tugging at her ear and complaining about it for the last four days. Today we headed over to her doctor to get it checked out. We hadn't been the to doctor since March; that is an awesome record for not getting sick. Hopefully it's not downhill from here.

A Dancer's World

Marissa loves to watch my Martha Graham Dance on Film DVD. She says "I want to see the dancers" and stares at the screen. She is not so much for Appalachian Spring or Night Journey(ok if didnt let her see that one), but loves to see A Dancer's World. Martha narrates and the dancers perform in the studio. I hope she continues to be intrigued by dance!
