So what has been happening in the world of the Ringen ladies lately???
Quite a few things....
A & L started dance lessons and they seem to be going well. They get 30 min of Ballet and then 30 min of Tap. Anna was really into it at first but over time she has started acting up at class so I think she might be dropping it. Lily was the one that I was worried wouldn't like going to dance class but she loves it and loves her teachers there. She seems to be a natural.
I also had my 20 year High School Reunion back in November. I was on the planning committee so it was stressful at times but in the end it seems to have been a great event. The committee has heard basically no complaints so I think we found the right formula for a great night.
Also in November I basically cut off eight (8) inches of my hair off. It looks great but I miss my long hair.. it's only hair and I know that it will grow back soon enough.
Work has been good in that I have gotten extended twice so far and my newest date that it could possibly end is in April but I doubt that would happen since I'm on the front line of doing all the pre-entry of the applications and projects that come in each day. I basically have job security at the moment since the Part D Program is scheduled to open in March and there is another program that we run on a whole year basis so those applications along with the applications for Benefit Verification are always coming in.
The girls joined the Kid Choir at our church and have performed twice already (Thanksgiving service and a Winter service). I think their next performance is in the Spring. They are natural performers, Lily especially (in the clip below she has 2 ponytails and Anna is next to her not really singing much - both girls are in the front row).
Currently we've been waiting for Santa to arrive (it's a hard wait when you are 4.5). I got them an Elf on the Shelf that they named Sophie and she has been appearing in many different places in the apartment. We never know where to find her next, who she'll be with and what she'll be doing.
I hope to update soon again.. till then, Happy Holidays and Have a Happy New Year.
