Au Contraire Monsieur Voltaire, We Know Where One Angel Dwells

It is not known precisely where angels dwell - whether in the air, the void, or the planets. It has not been God's pleasure that we should be informed of their abode. - Voltaire

Beautiful, Real-Life Princesses

Annabelle danced like a fairy princess today. Her class has two other girls in it and they get lots of personal attention. I think she really, really enjoys it.

The tribute to Patrick Swayze on "Dancing With the Stars" got me all verklempt. Beautifully done.

Tiny Dancer

I've posted photos of Annabelle's first day of dance class, but most of them are available to my family and friends (on Flickr) only. If you don't have a Flickr account (it's free and easy), sign up and let me know who you are -- if you want to see the pictures. There are images of Anna's classmates and identifying information and I want to control who sees that.

To Get a Flickr Account...

Go to: http://www.flickr.com/

Click the big "Sign Up" button (upper right)

Follow the instructions.

If you already have a Yahoo! account, this will be easy, easy.

Auntie LeeLee and/or Sam & Bobbie, let me know if you have problems signing into your Flickr account. I can help you.

Tone Loc ... and Dancing

I just talked to Annabelle's dance teacher -- she starts pre-ballet tomorrow. Just talking about her in a class and what she'll be doing ... I walked out the door and burst into tears. I'm so happy she's healthy and wonderful and smart and growing, but the thought that she&'s ready for a class alone makes me want to cry again and again. Happy tears and sad ones.

Then I got in the car and "Funky Cold Medina" was on and I burst into some mixture of tears and laughter.

Vamos a Bailar!

Annabelle loves Enrique Iglesis! She just made me listen to "Bailamos" a ridiculous number of times!

Dancing!

Annabelle loves "Dancing With the Stars.". When she found out we didn't have it recorded she threw a huge hissy fit, complete with crying and jumping up and down. She kept demanding, "Mommy dance!" "Daddy dance!" And pointing toward the open space in the room. So cute. Maybe a baby Julianne Hough?
