This is a little poster I did for a lesson on fatherhood which I gave at church a while back. It reminds me that I have a lot of work to do!

Happy 2013!
I might be creating unrealistic expectations by blogging on the first day of the new year - I'm making no promises, but I will try to put up more pictures!
The first picture of 2013 is of the best thing that happened to our family in 2012.
Just look at those cheeks! Let me assure you, they receive hundreds of kisses each day.
Laurenne's biggest accomplishment so far has been growing - look how she fills her carseat! Though in the past half hour she has added two more accomplishments to the list: giggling (well, as close as she's come to giggling) and deliberately batting at the toys on her playmat. Exciting times!
The
first day of the new year was beautiful and sunny, so we spent the
afternoon playing outside and skating in the "winter wonderland" in
Grandma and Grandpa's backyard.
And to end the day, Elysse lost another tooth. Speaking of, the tooth fairy better go check her wallet...

The Dance Extravaganza
Saturday December 10th was Dance Extravaganza day around our parts, ie: Elysse and Chanelle's dance show.
The production goes as follows:
As exciting as those details were, here's what you've actually been waiting for:
The production goes as follows:
- Get dance clothes on (this is always exiting for the girls)
- Get hair done (less exciting)
- Drive to the UofA (less exciting for dad because of the Butterdome craft sale and the Nutcracker which were both in full swing when we were trying to arrive:)
- Drop off the ladies (Lyndsey gets the girls met up with their classes)
- Dad finds parking (and plots the best path through indoor ped-ways to get back to the car)
- Find great seats that friends have saved for us
- Enjoy other people's cute little kids jumping and fluttering around the stage
- Watch Chanelle's number through the video camera (Lyndsey) and through the lens between snaps (Dave)
- Watch 13 other numbers of cute little kids (and some big kids too)
- Watch Elysse's number through the video camera (Lyndsey) and through the lens between snaps (Dave)
- Watch another several numbers of the cruise ship production the dance company puts on
- Pick the kids up from the stage after they see Santa (in the same order they performed!)
- Give them their flowers (Pink rose for Chanelle, Yellow for Elysse)
- Form a trail behind the father duck navigating through the pedways to the parkade
- Rush off so we can get ready to roll for the Messiah production (that's another post…)
As exciting as those details were, here's what you've actually been waiting for:
