Wow!! Tonight I learned that you really can teach an old dog (me) new tricks. Kelly walked me through adding the cool new background you all see on our blog now. My problem now is that there are so many different types of backgrounds that I can't choose. I guess that I will be changing it often.
I love that so many members of our family have blogs now. It makes it so nice to read about what is going on in every one's day to day lives. What is even better is that Mom and Dad have a blog. Now how cool is it that Mom is on the computer blogging?
Well I really didn't have much to say, but I was so excited about my new background that I thought I would write about it. Hope you all enjoy our new look.

It's been a while...
So Happy New Year to all. I hope 2009 is going well for everyone. Wow, it has been an awful long time since I last posted. A lot has transpired since November. Where do I begin?
Ally's performance of the Nutcracker went beautifully. She did so well and had a blast dancing again. Actually, she enjoyed herself so much that she is now taking lyrical ballet and modern jazz classes and has been invited to join the competitive dance team at the studio. Even Bella in getting into the act. She now takes ballet class and thinks that she is just a perfect ballerina. She is just a sight in her little leotard and ballet skirt.
The girls are still in gymnastics. In fact we just had a meet last Sunday. Ally did GREAT!!!! She finished 2nd out of 7 and was only .2 behind the 1st place girl. Bella forgot one of her tricks and received 5th place out of 7. If she would have added the extra trick she would have also had 2nd place. Whatever the case Bella was just as happy with what she got. Our next meet is on Sunday, February 8th in Bloomingdale. If anyone is interested in attending let me know. Ally is also working on getting ready for competing all events in gymnastics next year. It is a lot of work, but she is doing a wonderful job. She can do a round off back handspring without a spot and is a FABULOUS vaulter. This is very encouraging for her. Lets not forget Ms. Bella who can almost do a perfect cartwheel. Tony and I are so proud of our girls.
Speaking of Tony he and I spent our break together making a wine cabinet for our front room. I think it turned out pretty good for our first try at making furniture. What do you think? We worked really hard to get this done. Tony had the most beautiful plans drawn out and things went pretty much according to plan. Now we just neet to fill it up.
So this is pretty much life in the Lira house in a nut shell. I hope to write more soon. Maybe something a little more exicting? Love and blessings to all.
