Every Sunday the girls get up too early and go downstairs for breakfast. Usually Berta makes something special, and since I was up last Sunday I put together an order of pancakes.
I asked Berta how many pancakes she usually makes; what amount of ingredients she uses. She said she usually doubles the recipe on the box. Often we end up with a few (say three) extra pancakes after I eventually stumble downstairs, and so I mixed up the pancakes to her specifications.
I don’t remember what we were doing exactly, perhaps moving things in the front door from outside. Berta came out back and told me that there was a huge spider on the doorbell.
I really think this spider was trying to solicit something, because he was perched atop the doorbell wondering what to do next.
Abby’s been taking ballet classes on Saturdays for the past couple weeks. She’s only had two classes so far, and our vacation has interrupted them somewhat, but she seems to enjoy the dancing. She’s scheduled for a whole year of learning to dance.
It’s not just a ballet class, but a tap class as well. We went through a lot of trouble finding dancing equipment (outfit and shoes) that fit such a small little kid. The little tap shoes are cute.
Weird.
We’re here, and everything sems to be fine. I don’t actually have a lot of time right this moment, but I’ll give you a short recap of the past couple days.
Assuming everything went according to plan, we arrived safely in Orlando. (I’m writing this on Friday, even though it’s scheduled for Sunday.) I thought I would take a moment to descibe the methods that I’m using (or attempting to use) to get info back to the blog for your consumption.
