still dancin’

March 31, 2009 By Kelle

anyone who says sunshine brings happiness has never danced in the rain.

we danced today…and the rain is behind us.

dancing makes everything better. everything.

thank you for the sweet outpouring of emails and comments.
our hearts are happy.

your living room rug is begging to be a dance floor tonight. c’mon. do it. and for some dancin’ tunes, may i suggest this one. or this one. or this one. or anything from this cd.

but just dance.

(oh, this one’s my very fave)


thank you, heidi, for snappin’ these pics.

xoxo. enjoying the your-butt-is-beggin’-you-to-shake-it things. ~k

    We are MAJOR living room dancers in this house. Chris has been known to blast “fergilicious” as we watch the troops come running to dance. Dancing with our girls is one of the funnest things, and best memories I will ever have of them as kids.
    Once, Chris was at a daddy daughter dance, and he noticed his friend and his daughters were just standing there. And Chris said “why aren’t you dancing?” and his friend said “we don’t really know how” and Chris said, “you mean, you never just dance together in your living room?”
    He had never done that. I thought that was so sad! Everyone NEEDS to do that!

    Mya-hee, Mya-ha-ha. Ahhh, yes, our song…the Ave Maria of the wedding reception wasted. That song could raise a corpse to the dance floor. Dance til dawn. Dance alone if you have to. Dance because you can. I remember a lady in our hospital once, dealing with a terminal diagnosis, who checked herself out of the hospital AMA (Against Medical Advice), just to go home and dance barefoot in the living room with her granddaughter. It was actually the best therapy medicine could have offered. Dance tonight for her–Sherry J– was her name. She dances in heaven tonight. We all know the steps. Mya-hee!

    Grace and Ellie’s fav dance song is Fergie’s Glamorous. Their fav part in “and if you ain’t got no money take your broke ASS home!” I’m not winning mother-of-the-year anyway so I figure, what the heck, sometime ya just need to yell ass!

    Oh, uncle rik’s reference to NumaNuma!! Reminds me to tell you that Parker, Chloe, and Tessa will be playing it as part of their marching band routine this year. Our music program rocks!! I say all Crydermans get to dance in the football stands every halftime…or maybe they’ll let us on the 50 yard line. Love to see your joy…prayer answered!
