Staying Active

I just signed up for Belly Dancing classes!! I am so EXCITED!! What a great way to get out, get moving and meet new people. The instructor is a mother at the boy's school (CIS) and has been teaching classes for 15 years. She has her own studio not far from the school. Classes begin next week and will be held every Friday for 8 weeks...PERFECT! I will finish classes before our summer vacation to the US. I have been looking for ways to strengthen and help my lower back muscles. Ever since my auto accident, this area has caused me pain. Belly dancing is supposed to relieve lower back pain...Woo Hoo!! Look out Shakira...I'm going to be moving my hips!!

Speaking of moving...Corey has been attending rugby practice for several weeks now and loving it. He has his first game next Tuesday. He always loved playing soccer when he was younger and rugby is sort of like soccer plus it has football aspects to it...running the ball to the goal line and tackling. The only thing about the tackling is there are no pads used, so it can get rough. Apparently that hasn't bothered Corey as he keeps going back!!


Cameron begins art lessons this month, after school. He also wants to pick up music lessons and is especially wanting to take guitar lessons. He has his own electric guitar and has had some lessons from his Dad but they were very informal, mainly learning where the chords are. He is quite gifted however, and I know when he gets formal lessons, he will be a natural.


Spring is here and we are staying active!!
