Elmo Live!!!


On our way to see the show.

Waiting "impatiently" for the show to start.


Bella's excited face when the show starts.


Poor Rach got stuck with Bella because she was the nice one. Not like Bella's mean parents or the scary usher who wouldn't let her rush the stage.

Down at the Riverwalk.

Bella's favorite person in the world has to be Elmo. She sings and dances to the Elmo's World song and she watches him faithfully. Let's just say she is a huge fan. Someone who definitely competes with her for the biggest fan award would be her friend Lucy. Because of this loyalty and undying love for Elmo, our friend's Marshall, Rachel, Lucy, and Gracie and our family took Bella and Lucy down to San Antonio to see Elmo Live. It was fun to see the girls enjoy seeing Elmo in person. Bella became a crazed fan during the show and attempted to run up on to the stage, not just one time, but three separate occasions. The usher had to warn us a few times about our rebellious daughter and also about her out of control dancing in the aisle. They had such a great time and we are so glad that we got to go. We got to go swimming, play some Wii, and go down to the Riverwalk. It was a short trip, and other than me getting completely creamed in Mario Party, it was a fun trip.
We hope that you all had a great Thanksgiving. Rick's grandparents came into town for the holiday and we had a great time taking them around the city. Bella has been having a little bit of separation anxiety problems, but luckily she warmed up to her grandparents in no time. Hopefully this anxiety will all go away soon, but unfortunately it seems to be getting worse. Nursery has been a "no go" for several weeks now and gymnastics has become a little difficult for her too. Very weird.

Elmo live, huh? Aren't you getting her started with concerts (and corresponding 'groupie' behavior) a little young? What kind of parents are you? Just kidding, of course. I took Jane and a friend to the Cheetah Girls concert in Pittsburgh the night before Thanksgiving (the things we'll do for our kids...).

At least she picked the cutest character I love Elmo!! She is so cute and a little like her mother I seem to remember someone rushing the court at an Andre Agassi tennis match long ago.

That's awesome!!! Kids are so funny! They make life so interesting to say the least. :)

It was a great trip- Lucy still talks about it. I'm glad Thanksgiving was good- I'm looking forward to getting back on our running schedule very soon!

Bella was not allowed to rush the stage?! What?! Who could help themselves when Elmo's around?! I could just imagine the security needed for this show!
