Anna Grows

Anna & Dad - ready for the dance Anna was thrilled to attend the annual Father-Daughter dance Saturday night with her Dad.  This year's theme was "Western Round-up," which meant that everyone could wear jeans (Dad was very happy about this). Reports from the dance indicate that there was in fact very little dancing by the dads.  There were lots of sugary snacks for the girls, which aided in the dancing.  Apparently the dads joined in for the conga line at the end.  Anna had a great time and is already looking forward to the next dance.

Aidyn & Anna....in Aidyn's pajamas Anna got to enjoy a long weekend over Veteran's Day thanks to parent-teacher conferences at school.  Since Mom also had Monday off AND it happened to be the weekend of the Kent family Thanksgiving, Anna hopped on the plane with her parents for a long weekend in Ohio. The major milestone for this trip was the fact that Anna willingly left her kitty pillow behind.  In her place, she took her much smaller owl, Hoot (thanks Aunt Gayle).  Anna survived, although we may have seen a tear in kitty's eye as she was left behind for the first time. After arriving in Columbus, we picked up our rental vehicle - a bright red minivan with New York plates.  While we were initially chuckling about the New York license plates (haha, Joe if from New York), we found out later that the real problem was the color of the license plates:  orange.  Apparently under current Ohio law, if you have 3 DUI offenses you have to put special orange
