Home Remodel Begins and 6th Grade Dance

When Pete and I were in Cancun, Jake had his 6th grade dance during school. Our very talented friend, Katherine Turley, took photos so we were able to see a little bit of what he got to experience. Here are a few pictures. The blond he's dancing with is Brett and Sarah Hopkins daughter, Abby. I think you can tell that Jake isn't shy! We talked to him after the dance and he said, "Mom, I think I inherited your awesome moves!" He's not very humble either.







Tyler and I are beginning to feel better and its a good thing, because after lots of time in the planning phase, we have officially begun an extensive home remodel. I created a blog just to write about my interest in homes and gardening, one that I haven't written about much, but figured would be a great place to document, with photos, our home remodel. The blog address for that site is fontainedebienvenu.blogspot.com. I know its a long name, its my maiden name before it was americanized--Fontaine de Bienvenu, which means fountain of welcome in French. Anyhow, check out that site to see pictures of all of the remodeling we're beginning.

I had a great day with Madeline's school class today. We went on a fieldtrip to see The Tortoise and the Hare performed by the Salt Lake Children's Theatre. The show covered the story of Aesop and his fables, with a cast of 5 actors who had an amazing number of parts to memorize. My favorite actress was a girl named Amanda. Anyhow, I loaded up on cough drops and spent a fun day with my daughter.
