...nursing around the clock these days, Shilo, eight months, is just cutting his two top front teeth...funny how some children barely react to teething...and well others react - full blown out - SICK!

...when sporadically the sun and moon align themselves and I am unleashed to actually blog...I feel compelled each time to apologize profusely for my absence.
...The Long Winter, I think about summarizes how most folk felt about winter in the western hemisphere - we too, up where lakes are still partially covered with ice as I type...feel this way. And so Spring, is that much sweeter - ain't it!
That God manufactured fragrance of buds bursting, intoxicates my nostrils.

...spring sprung, season's ending, season's starting...
...the end of year for many things...
...end of my side job; teaching dance and early childhood music and movement - yup, since the big mama career started, called Motherhood, that pretty much takes up center stage, no pun intended. Or should I say, no bun intended, while dance and music education really take a backseat.

...it was my first full year, really teaching on my own...as in not being in a community of other dance teachers and arts educators around me...just me, making the decisions and calling some shots...eek...I don't even like calling the shots! But living in a remote and small community now, wow...from a city where, what you offer is a dime a dozen, to moving to a place where, you're it...well, now's a time, as ever, to be brave, (smile)...Gotta love how life offers character building experiences...

...my modest classes killed it in our local arts festival, despite small town politics...although Selah, 9, may not be a good fit for Abby Lee's dance company - grateful - (I'm drawn to a more wholesome approach, that is, value based on the process rather than on just performance), here are some shots from her piece to Fall Afresh, the Loft Series, Jesus Culture.

Great to see you at your blog again. :) It really was a LONG winter, wasn't it? And now, down here in PA, it never quits raining. Blah. Someday the sun will shine again, right? Great dance photos. I've never been around anyone who dances (kitchen dancing doesn't count, does it?) so it's really neat to see. Enjoy those children! :)
ReplyDeleteNice to see you're all thriving. Wish we could sit over a cup of tea and knit... and you could impart the wisdom of a homeschooling mother of five to this head-scratching/pulling-with-just-two homeschooling mama. I've gotten back on my loom - that's my exciting news. Wishing you a great summer.
