Melissa - a ballet star!

Hi,
Today i was one of the proudest fathers in the world! Melissa had her first ballet performance at a theatre in Ski. The show was called "Travle dager" or "busy days" and Marianne Høymer ( the teacher ) did a fantastic job managing the children. I am impressed! Melissa played the role of a mouse.... ;o))
I'm sorry that the quality of the photos is not the greatest.... they were taken without flash. The photo of Melissa alone is taken "back-stage" and in the audience you can see zulema and 2 proud grand-parents

Exciting week coming up

-because Melissa will have her first big ballet performance saturday, before almost 400 people! Tuesday is their last practice before the show. And i can guarantee that i will have photos of the event ready for you guys to see. This last week Melissa went to the doctor and took many bloodsamples, because she has been feeling ill lately. The test turned out good fortunately and showed no signs of anything out of the ordinary ;o) The weekend Melissa and i spent cleaning the house a little on saturday and today we had an early celebration of my parents anniversary tomorrow, when they have been married 41 years - CONGRATULATIONS !!!!
We celebrated along with my brother and his family at my parents house.

A few photos of Melissa from this past week; doing some home work, with her cousin Tuva and with her friend from school.

Week in review

Many things going on in our lives at the moment, so my updates are not coming on a regular basis. Sorry about that....

Melissa has this weekend been to a birthday party with a friend from school and she has spent saturday afternoon with her aunt Kelly. Sunday she was at my parents house, while i was watching the cup-final here in Norway. Unfortunately "my" team lost..
In just 2 weeks, my Melissa will perform with her ballet-class at the annual christmas show.. I have front row ticket to that show! ;o) If the show is sold out, there will be almost 400 people there watching her ( and the others ) dance!
Have a great week everyone - we are now just 5 weeks away from Christmas ;o)

a week since my last update

and in that week, Melissa has been to the swimming-pool in Askim with her aunt Kelly and me ( http://www.ostfoldbadet.no/ ). Melissa is learning first of all not to fear the water, but also little by little how to swim. It has also become colder here and as the photos show; cold outside and Fluffy the cat enjoys the fireplace... :o)
