they're so looking forward to dance this afternoon because today is picture day. last year, only danielle was in dance, and she was in the middle of this shy phase. i could not get her to pose for picture - not even in the group photo!!! well this year she is so excited to do better! her and chantale can't wait to put their dance costume on. we steamed their costumes last night so the crinolins lay really nice - all pouffy!

matthieu is excited too because he'll probably have to stay at the school age childcare until the girls are done - that means he'll be there a little longer than usual : ) he'd go more often than one day a week if he could! plus he appreciates any time away from the girls.

the girls went for a little snowmobile ride in the yard again yesterday. i'm amazed how well danielle drives that thing! she can't steer a bike but she can steer a snowmobile LOL i don't think they'll get to go too many more times unless we get more snow soon... snow situation pretty sad out here. not as bad as along hwy 11 going to i-29 though... there's this section, by donaldson maybe? where it looks like they have drifts of DIRT and not snow in the ditches... the fields have had all the snow blown off... i'm glad we're more sheltered here!

well, i hope pictures go better this year!

    Looking forward to seeing them. Based on how Danielle was at Christmas, I can tell she's accepting the fact that people will take her picture. Up until then I don't think I really had any of her. And then there's Chantale, who would not stop posing...I made a CD with the pictures on it for you, just let me know next time you'll be around.
