Our Ward's Got Talent!

Tonight was our ward talent show. Andrew and I had both signed up to participate. Normally we'd be more interested in just watching, but we really want to make an effort to be involved in our ward. Anyway, I had signed up to perform some poi ball tricks I learned from a visiting Maori group back in the 5th grade; and Andrew played The "Minute" Waltz by Chopin. We really enjoyed some of the acts. Our Bishop wrote and sang a love song for his wife. My favorite line was about honoring her kisses! :) So sweet! He was accompanied by someone playing the cello. Then our Relief Society President showed a slide show of pictures from a trip they took to South America (for the fun of it...can you imagine?!). Another girl solved a Rubix Cude in 1 minutes and 5 seconds! Even the Bishop's little dog did some tricks and jumped through hoops and over 2 people. Sadly we couldn't stay long because it was close to Bennett's bedtime (even though we had let him nap right up until we left) and the loud applause and cheering really scared him so he cried and yelled. I'm glad at least that we were able to perform at all.

I also wanted to add some news about Bennett. He doesn't fight tummy time as much as he used to. He can scoot backwards basically by just pushing backwards, and he can move around in a circle too. Somehow he can rotate around while sitting too, but I'm not sure how he does that.

Bennett sounds a lot like Brenton did. He could crawl backwards long before he could fowards and he too would rotate. Boys are funny. Just wait till he is cruising and climbing on stuff. You will have to let me know what you do for Bennett's costume. I found one for Brenton that I really like but can't justify spending the money.
