Ballet Party and Easter Fun

We went to a super fun ballet birthday party a couple weekends back. The teacher had all of the party guests' full attention. The girls were so incredibly cute. We may just have to take lessons at Ballet Fantastique in the future. Here is a pic of the birthday girl opening her presents.

Blogger is being incredibly lame and will not let me upload any video. It's maddening! I may have
to migrate this blog to wordpress or some other blog host. Be patient, video fans. I do have a great video from the ballet party of the guests doing a dance to Swan Lake.

Speaking of videos, Jim made me the now-traditional retrospective family video for mom's day. I love, love, love this tradition! All of the past year's special moments are packed into a highlight reel starring your favorite twins and mine. This year there are sections that chronicle holidays, vacations, visits with family and friends, and the biggest event/progression of the year - Skylar's hearing loss diagnosis and fitting with hear betters.

Listening to her talk right after getting them impressed on me how far she has come with her speech in just 8 months. There were no. ending. consonents. in her speech before she got them. She couldn't hear those sounds, so she couldn't produce them. She said her new hear betters were "oran" and "peen." I knew what she meant, but now the clear enunciation of "orange" and "pink" is par for the course. -Smile-

PS I can't post the video due to (admittedly adorable) child nudity. :-) And, due to Blogger sucking. So, here are a couple of Easter pics to enjoy in the meantime!
