Why I Enjoy Dance by Ashley

I enjoy doing dance because I am becoming a better dancer every day. I like dancing because it is fun and exciting. It is fun because you get to do something you love. Also, because you to dance to music you love. It makes me happy to dance because your teachers will be nice to you and treat you like they are your mom.

I think it is exciting because when you start a dance you never know what the steps are going to be and how the dance will end. It is also exciting to see your parents react to your dancing. Next it is fun because if you compete in dance you never know if you will win 1st, 2nd or 3rd place.

That is why I love to dance because it is fun and exciting.

This was written by Ashley at the beginning of the school year when the students were learning to do writing prompts in preparation for the FCAT. This writing prompt didn't score very high but by the end of the year her prompts were scoring at 4 and 5. She ultimately made a 4 on the writing portion of the FCAT. The highest score on the Writing FCAT is a 5.

Okay so I made you wait a couple years.  I promise I will try to get better at this.  Now to help  you catch up on what happened in 2018, 2019 and so far in 2020. Let's see...this might be a very short post at least for the years 2018 and 2019.   2018 In 2018, Brad graduated from the Univeristy of Alabama with a BS Degree in Economics and Philosphy in May.

It's been a while. Did you know...

that Ashley was in the hospital  after Thanksgiving and before Christmas?  She had a bleed. She has varices.  Just a little reminder that she is not healthy and has a life threatening liver disease. that we lost our beloved beautiful puppy, Sarge, on January 2.  It was sudden, shocking, and sad.  We think he had leukemia based on his symptoms.  Not sure if we will ever get another dog.  Sarge was one of a kind and a perfect fit for our laid back, drama free family. that Ashley made the Principal's Honor Roll her 1st Semester of high school while taking all honors courses.  She is beautiful and smart. that Ashley is still dancing for her high school dance team minus a solo this year. She loves being part of the team but really misses competing in her favorite style of dance, lyrical/contemporary. that after a couple years of not having a dance studio to call home.  We think we may have finally found just the place.  Maybe som...

Some Things

NO SURGERY.  Yes, you got it Brad does not need surgery on his elbow. The MRI results showed no tears, breaks, pulls....no injury at all.  We are so happy about this especially since this surgery would have cost us $6,000 out of pocket.  Brad needs rehab to build strength.  He is working on pitching exercises provided by a sports trainer.  Currently, Brad is not playing baseball although he been asked to play with several travel ball teams.  We are looking at the possibility of hiring a pitching coach.  I know Brad is happy that he now has a good chance to get on the varsity baseball team next spring since he has no injury. I have been sick off and on for the last few weeks which is the reason for the lack of updates.  We have plenty of reasons to update.  Like, Ashley quit dance.  Not really. But kind of.  Ashley finished her last year competing in dance a couple Sunday's ago.  As stated before, this year in dance ha...
