Zoo Lights

Rubber Band Necklaces

Libby decided to accessorize our manger scene with rubber bands. All of the animals, wise men, shepherds, sheep, Joseph, Mary, and Jesus were given rubber band necklaces:

Libby’s Ballet Recital

To those of you waiting patiently for video of Libby's final ballet recital, I apologize for the delay. Here is a compilation of three videos that I took:

  • The first clip is of Libby and Shannon doing "step passé".
  • The second clip is of Libby leaping over "puddles" (I forgot what they called this).
  • The third clip is the free dance time at the end of class. They are supposed to "freeze" when the music stops (but Libby always returns to the same frozen pose regardless of where she was when the music stops).

Seeing the curvature of the earth from space always makes my heart skip a beat - it's just so gorgeous.
