Dancing

Don't you just love to watch a child dance? How they don't worry about how they look and they just have fun with the songs. Today our good friends, the Baker's, came over and spent the day. Well, if you read Missy's blog (I have a link on mine), you know that her son, Kaiden, & Luke are best buds. They had a ball playing all day, it got to be one point in the evening that it was overload, I think they needed some time away from each other, but that didn't take long to get back to playing again. Well, before they left this evening the boys got Luke's "drum set" out & they would take turns pushing the buttons so they could dance. It was funny to see the different "styles." Luke's was more serious & you could see him thinking of what his next move was going to be, Kaiden's was more fun, he was cracking me up with the faces he was making as he was dancing around. Then it was Missy's turn to dance with Kaiden & they were actually dancing together, it was fun. When it was my turn to dance with Luke, he just did his own thing & when I "made" him actually dance with me, he was like ok, with the roll of the eyes (oh how they learn that early on).

While the little boys played, the big boys were down in the basement setting up our server. I know Erik really appreciated Mitch's help. So, while they were busy we actually got some scrapbooking done. My sister & Melanie came over for a little while & we all got a few pages done. I need to get better organized when I plan to sit down & work on my books. Right now I have 3 definite books that I want to do, Luke's book (which is everything from birth on), our trip to Disney & Erik's trip to Europe. I've got the mini scrapbook done of our family pretty well done. I still have to get a few pictures from family members.

Last night I set up my webcam and got set up on Skype so I can talk to my brother and sister-in-law, who moved to Calgary in September (I think). Regardless, this is a way that I can talk to them more and for free. They can also see Luke & how much he is growing. They were home for Christmas this year & they got my parents a webcam, well needless to say I was intrigued. So, when Erik was ordering stuff for the server I had him find me a webcam, which he did & ordered it for me. Well, this morning when I got around to checking my email, etc. I logged on to my Skype account & I got a call from my brother. It was a lot of fun & Luke was having a good time with it too... he thought it was great that he could see his Uncle Keith & show off for him. Then, when I was done talking to him I called my parents & told them to get on the computer & call so we could try out the webcam with them too. Of course my parents live only a hour away, but this is great so they can see Luke (really nobody cares about seeing me). Isn't that the way it is... once you have kids, your parents no longer want to talk to you (or see you), they'd much rather see the kids (or at least my parents).

That's pretty much what we did today. Hope you all had a great day! Until tomorrow...
