Recent Activities

So I decided to try this out. Here are some recent photos, all of the Hannah girl.

We decided it was time to get the hair out of the face at least a little bit. I loved the face, you can't really tell that it's because the hair is hanging over her eyes and I had been combing it over her eyes. And as an added bonus, my belly sticking out, a nice pregnancy profile.

The new look, although a sometime wild and uncombed version of it. :)

Hannah girl loves the flowers, and loves to have her picture taken. Nice color coordination of the purples. So there is an update of Hannah. I don't know how often this will get updated but it's an attempt.

Other updates, we have three weeks left until baby #3. Hopefully this one will want to be a little bit early. That would be a bonus. Being 9 months pregnant in the heat of the summer is not the greatest idea but we are excited for this baby. Sam asked me today when I came home from my doctor visit if the baby was out. He is fairly excited about the baby and always wants to poke the baby or feel the baby move. Anyway, more later but not much later I hope. :)

Cuteness in the dance

We're back for another week!

Bruno is complimenting the 2 young dancers who just did the paso doble - they are waayyy to cute to be able to dance like that. Bruno said that they were a gigantic ball of greatness - it was funny because he was trying to keep it from being naughty.

Sam fell asleep on the couch and Hannah is fighting it. More later.

Dancing with the Kids

As a first post, we're looking at an exciting night at the Elliss household!


Tonight is officially Dancing with the Stars night at our household - we're all gathered in the family room watching the drama, passion... http://abc.go.com/primetime/dancingwiththestars/index?pn=index

and now we're watching the mango! ewwwh! But kinda funny. Steve and Jonathon dancing the tango.

It's great watching Hannah dance to the music - she looks like she's doing the chicken dance - we'll have to take a picture and post it.

Our favorites are Kristi and Mark, Marlee and Fabian, Jason and Edyta:

Now for some comments:

Jason (the NFL player of the year or something, like that's important in the ultra-competitive world of ballroom dancing) dances well and has a good attitude ( but not a 'I love everyone and especially fuzzy bunnies' attitude like Steve).

Marlee, the deaf actress, is really funny and is actually inspiring in the way that she performs, on the stage and off. I think it would be cool if she had some sort of high-tech beat indicator that helped her out.

Kristi is just really sharp and of course a great dancer. I'm really suprised that they invited her, since she has such a natural advantage having been a gold-medal winning figure ice skater - basically dancing on ice. She will be the winner, not only because she's a great dancer, but she knows what it is to train and compete, and she's hot. (Very important in this competition) Plus, there aren't really any standout guys, so I think she has this one in the bag.



Anyway, here's an interview with AnnaJune regarding who is going home tonight:

Ssilleelliss: "Who do you think is going home tonight and why?"
AJ: "I don't know, but I think Steve should. He's not a very good dancer"
Ssilleelliss: "What do you think of the controversial 'lift'?"
AJ: "The judges didn't mention it, but they should have. I want Shannon to come back, and Cristian is ok."


Ok, we're now at the end of the torture session! Steve and Anna are heading home! I think he was just too warm and fuzzy for this America. He would have done well on TeleTubbies, but here in the cutthroat world of ballroom dancing / reality voting, he was just a big target.





Sad breaking news - an Amber Alert happened today concerned a little girl who lived near where we used to live. 2250 S 500 E. It looks like a murder case. We're really happy we don't live there anymore.
