It’s a Small World

July 16, 2012 12 Comments

Talent is kind of like beauty. It’s all in the eye of the beholder. And in our family it doesn’t take much to impress.

So behold! rat-a-tat-a-rat-a-tat… (that would be a drumroll)

Our number for the Keddington family talent show!

There were cartwheels, leaps, the reverse worm (Sami’s talent of choice – which looked suspiciously like a turtle flailing on its back), hoops, and some sliding/tossing. Whatever your skill, you belong in our talent show. We accept all levels of proficiency.

Would you believe our small but amazing family (said most facetiously) practiced quite a few times for this number? I should say tried to practice. Which means the kids rolled in the grass, rode stick horses to Timbuktu, and fought over the hula-hoop.

But we had a lot of fun.

Don’t miss the audience dialogue (funny). And hang in there until the end. The finale is our favorite part. If you like the music, check out Montreal’s singing sensation, Nikki Yanofsky. I totally dig her tunes.

More on our family reunion coming soon. In celebration of the London Games, my sister Sarah and her husband Lance, planned our first Keddington Olympics. It was a blast!
Random side note: Anyone else dying with the summer schedule? Putting kids to bed late, staying up late, peeling your face off the pillow in the morning? I_am_dragging.
But smiling.

Cath

Five children in four years, including two sets of twins, brought new meaning to Mary Oliver's earnest question. Our little people aren't so little anymore, but life is still wild, still precious. And this is my meager attempt to hold on, make it last. I love Doug, running, hiking in the mountains, oatmeal chocolate chip cookies, the edge of an ocean, and connecting with you here. So happy to have you along.

    I watched your cute video with my two year-old sitting in my lap. When he saw your kids sliding through the hula-hoop he pointed at the screen and said, "I wanna go to dat place!" I think I'd better buy a hula-hoop! Looks like it was a fun night 🙂

    Em – put a check in the mail to you yesterday! how did the double ear tubes go?? been thinking about you.

    Kara – ah, you're astute. yes, gordon went rogue on us and it took several siblings to get my dad's attention, help him identify gordon! hilarious.

    Angie – sure miss you girl! always love hearing from you.

    Michelle – I'm gathering the crew right now to watch My Fair Goalie. Can't wait!

    Mary – this is true. you should have seen Bec/Neil's number, and my Dad telling the story of Brer Rabbit and the Laughing Place. He was something else!
