Isabel's ballet class

 Isabel took her first ballet class this fall at the local rec center.  She really enjoyed it, and today parents got to sit in class for a little performance. 

Here she is stretching:

Pierce-Soccer

 Pierce and Madelyn both played soccer this fall.  They played through a local rec league and both enjoyed it.  One of the parents on Pierce's team did such a great job of taking pictures and always shared them with the team.  I have a few of Madelyn that I will post later, but I don't have nearly as many good shots of her as  I do of Pierce.

Here are some action shots:

Pierce getting his trophy (not for merit, just for being on the team.  I'll keep my thoughts on that quiet for now.)

Julia's Cage

Julia managed to get Pierce's hamper over herself and decided it was a lot of fun.  She walked around the house for quite a while like this.
