soccer and dance...keeping us busy

I have a lot to catch up on, but first an update on the kids...

Zanna started a ballet/tap/tumbling combo class a couple of weeks ago and LOVES it! She practices her moves in the kitchen right when she gets home and her teacher said she is doing fantastic, especially for her first dance class. James and I like hanging out during her classes and usually get a bagel or look at toy stores while we wait. It is so fun to see Zanna doing and loving something that I enjoyed so much when I was her age...how do you like the while tap shoes??

The kids are also both playing soccer right now and love the uniform or "costume" as much as playing. James is tearin' it up and was a little shy the first game, but is now all over the place and has had his fair share of goals.

Zanna has this cute, 16-yr old coach that is so great with these little girls.

Many of these girls have played for a few years and this is Zanna's first season so I think she was a little confused the first game, but has also really improved. She scored a goal in their second game and also had a chance to play goalie.

She loves going to practice and has met some fun, silly girls that she will miss when the season is over.

the shirt looks like a dress on these girls!

Francis baby #3 update is not quite as involved...

we're at 12 weeks now, 2.5 inches and 0.4 oz

I had a sonogram yesterday and all things looked great as far as we know and I am feeling good (besides an awful sore throat!) James came to the appointment and when he saw the baby he said, "i think it is a boy because I don't see any long hair"- good observation.

We are trying to avoid the swine flu and washing our hands all the time!!

Life is good!
