Sorry it's been a few days (oops weeks) since the last post! We have had a lot of stuff going on. With Robert going to DC every weekend for work, me trying to do sets for Amber's show and Amber having rehearsals and a teenager's life, we have been going nonstop! Tyler is the only one without plans but he is always busy so I am glad he doesn't!

Since the last post, I have had minor outpatient surgery to have a lipoma removed from my right side....very minor; it just gived me a headache because I haven't been to the gym in two weeks.....the plan is to go back on Monday and rejoin my spin class!

Also since then, it has gotten really cold! Time to put up the shorts and tank tops and get out the jeans and sweaters! I don't mind the cold! The leaves are really getting beautiful and then they will be all over the lawn and they won't be so beautiful anymore, just another big chore for us to clean up!

Amber's show is getting close, only two and a half weeks before opening night. Those kids are always ready though and the shows are (as Amber would say) UH-MAZ-ING! I am posting some old videos from before her auditions. These were the two songs she chose from to do and it was last moment to prepare and only one minute for the audition. Once Willy Wonka is over, I will add some short clips from the show!

Take care until next time!

"He's A Tramp" from Lady and the Tramp

"Finale B" from Rent

Skyline Drive

So this past weekend, my best friend Amy was visiting. We had a great time! We went to Georgetown for a night on the town and the next day did some sightseeing on the National Mall (of course I forgot the camera that day!) We also drove to Shenedoah National Park and drove on Skyline Drive to see the leaves changing color. Here are some photos from that trip.

Super Baby and sis!

Tyler for some reason wanted to put on his blanket like a cape and run around the house. The first time he screamed like a maniac but when the camera came out he didn't do it (of course).

And what kid doesn't like to walk around in BIG shoes?

And here some photos of Amber and Ty. Amber took these. Seriously, what is it with kids and cameras these days? Amber has a sleepover and they take at least 100 pictures! We go to the mall and they are posing with mannequins, taking pictures next to the candy bins.......then they have to go post them on MySpace immediately!

Dance Dance Tyler!

Amber had a song by Pink on her Myspace page and everytime she played it Tyler started to do this Riverdance looking dance. We thought it was funny so I thought I'd share it. This is our entertainment in our house. (Yes, I already know that I don't get out much, so please don't comment on that!) And usually Ty has on pants!

As you can see it happens almost every time we play this song....if you haven't already had enough!

So if you got bored of the Ty action, here's a little something from Amber..... my other form of entertainment!

Hope these videos brought you a smile to your face and maybe a little chuckle!
