Dancing at the Nursing Home

Avery started ballet class again this year, and Madisen wanted to do it with her this time. (I think Madisen realized how fun it could be to learn to dance and be with other girls). This month they have been practicing a dance and were able to perform it for the local nursing home. I think Madisen was just excited to be able to get out of school for the day.... as we had a very sad Funeral for a young mother in our ward, who died suddenly a week ago and she left behind her husband and four young kids. It was devastating and shocking to say the least. Makes me really take a look at life and remember how important each day is, each moment is with my kids and my hubby, because it could be the last. Sorry to get on a sad note, but it's so surreal that she is gone and her kids are left without a mom. (Prayers for the Ponnada family please!)

Anyway, the girls got the chance to perform for the elderly folks and had a good time. 









p.s. Happy Birthday to my brother ADAM today!!

Sad. How did she die? That kind of freaks me out.
