A busy beginning to February

So February began with a bang! Kaitlyn had her first Irish dancing performance (pics and video were posted 2 weeks ago) and she did amazing. I had hip replacement surgery, so I have had amazing help here at home and Brady spent time with Grandma and Grandpa K in Cleveland while I started my recouperation at home. Things are starting to get back to normal around here but still busy as usual! We had a "minor" snow storm and Kaitlyn LOVED being out in the flakes! She started shoveling Daddy's side of the driveway (with her princess shovel daddy bought her!) and loved sledding down the hill in her new sled.







Brady returned to My First School after missing a week when he was playing in Cleveland with Grandma and Grandpa K. It was DINOSAUR WEEK and he was beyond thrilled to get involved and play. He liked "looking" for dinosaurs with his magnifying glass, playing in the dino rocks sensory table, digging for dino bones and even dressing up like a dinoasuar!




Thurday evening Kaitlyn's soccer team celebrated a fantastic season with a small banquet and medal ceremony at d. Dooley's in Fenton. She got to see all her teammates and coaches and they each recieved their participation medals. We are quite proud of her for having an amazing season.
Kaitlyn will participate in her First Feis (competition) tomorrow, Sunday 2/19. She will be pefoming 2 dances and we wish her the best as she begins this new part Irish Dancing. She truly loves it and we support her in all efforts to do well. Pictures and video (hopefully) soon to follow.

Birthday Party at Chuck E Cheese!!

Brady decided he wanted to have his birthday party with his friends at Chuck E Cheese. He invited his best buddies from school and we had a great time. He scored tons of tickets in the ticket blaster, had a Star Wars cake and had a great time playing games with all his friends. Here are some highlights from the awesome party!

A weekend in the city...

Kaitlyn has her first Irish dance feis here in downtown Atlanta. We decided to make a weekend of it (she dances today and tomorrow) and spend the night at the hotel where the feis is being held. We started very early this morning with Kaitlyn dancing just before 9am! She did amazing and placed in both her dances (second in jig; 3rd in reel). After she finished dancing we headed to the children's museum of Atlanta. The kids had a blast trying all the cool things to do. Then we grabbed some lunch in centennial park (it's 65 degrees here so we ate outside!!) and then hit the aquarium. The kids are excited to swim at the indoor pool later and then it's more dancing in the morning! 

Kaitlyn's first ATL Irish Dance performance

Since moving to Atlanta, the kids had to get involved in their activities down here. Kaitlyn started Irish dancing at Mulligan School back in August. She competed in her first Southern Region Feisanna in November. Tonight, she performed at her first community event with some of the other girls from the dance studio. She did fantastic. I took several pictures as well as a video of her dancing with the other girls. She will be doing many more performances as she made the Tara Dance Company (which is a handpicked dance team that travels the city in the Spring doing performances). We are quite proud of our little Irish dancer and can't wait to see where her dancing takes us! Here is the video...
