Getting ready for the cotillion dance

I was in London this week so Marcy had to manage the puppy and the kids all by herself. While Olive is doing great she is a 9 week old puppy and as such is a lot of work. The good news is that she is sleeping well.

Yesterday both Jude and Anna had their soccer games and then last night one of our neighbors did a sleepover with Anna. Then today, Anna and I took Olive to Paw School for some pre-agility training. She did well and Anna had fun leading Olive through the obstacles.

Then this afternoon we all got dressed up and went downtown to the ballroom at the Brown Palace hotel for the end of term cotillion dance. Parents and siblings were invited.

When it came time for Anna to chose a partner from her family she chose Jude. He reluctantly agreed and they danced the first number together. Then it was my turn.

Afterwards, we celebrated with dinner at Elways. Marcy had to leave early to tend to Olive who had been left alone for the longest time since we had got here.

Olive still loves to stick close by most of the time
