change of pace

we're in a lull of blog worthy child activity. sweet pea is in a very challenging period of life. god love him. beans bears the brunt of this challenging time with grace and smiles and the loyalty of a younger brother. they exude the beauty and frustrations of their ages. so, i'm taking a fork in the road to post about some other things that make me happy. i was reminded of this in an email today - the first time i saw dancing matt i thought he was amazing.please check out matt's website and his brand new 2008 video. it is so fun to watch him dance his way across the world. the happiness that people find when dancing and listening to music is obviously universal. you can see it in the faces of each person who participated. i suggest that everyone go out or go home and dance with your friends and families tonight. dance well, dance badly, do it for the excercise, do it for the laughs. don't be embarassed. it's a challenge. in our house we call it dance party usa (we call everything "something" party usa - i don't know why). sweet pea has his own playlist on the ipod. here's what he'll be dancing to tonight: the tiki room, upside down, life is a highway, show me what you got, jump around, stayin alive, free and easy, let's get it started. have a nice weekend!
