Hip Hop Heaven

Last night our dance troupe, Daughters of Zion, performed our dance to Toby Mac's "Irene" during a concert at Beth Yeshua. Remember the little bit that I taught you, Kristi? We haven't done that particular dance for a year and a half, so I felt a little rusty. We're on our knees a lot, and we wear knee pads to make it a little (well, a lot) more bearable. We got there before the concert to practice, so I put on my knee pads, and then afterwards, I didn't want to take them off but they're a little tight, so I scootched them down around my ankles. I realized they were still there about 30 seconds into our performance! I don't know if it was more the fear of damaging a knee cap, or the dread of looking like I had elephant ankles, but the whole dance just wasn't quite the same! In any event, we had fun. Here are some pictures...

This is Stacey, my friend from Staten Island. She reminds me so much of you, Mom!


Katharine is from Washington, and we discovered each other when her friend, Rachel, came to visit and I recognized Rachel as a friend from Multnomah. Small world!
