One, two, three o'clock, four o'clock, rock

Five, six, seven o'clock, eight o'clock, rock, Nine, ten, eleven o'clock, twelve o'clock, rock, We're gonna rock around the clock tonight...... Well maybe not the whole night but at least for a couple of hours at school yesterday.   Hadley and I had our first sock hop and had a blast!   Of course we were not happy about getting into our costumes at 6:30 am that morning and I wouldn't let Mom do my tattoo that early either.   I finally caved in and let my teachers help me out with my cool "Mom" tattoo in time for the dance though.   Before our sock hop dance, we got to eat pink milk, french fries and sundaes.... yummy!  Here's some cool shots that mark the special occasion and will perhaps bring back memories to those of you that recall when poodle skirts, slicked back hair and sock hops being a daily occurrence.

Love,

Emerson & Hadley

Haddie and I can hardly believe that it is Valentines Day!  In fact, judging from the blog you might think that we've been in hiding since Halloween but really we'll just call it what it is... pure laziness!   Haddie and I are just loving being in our new digs of Austin,TX  and at the same school.   Sometimes when both of our classes are outside playing, I'll go and check on her to make sure she's ok.  This week we've got to spend alot of time together... today was our school's Valentine celebration and this Friday we have our first Sock Hop.  Mom wondered if it would be too much to roll a fake pack of cigarettes up in my t-shirt but luckily Dad put a stop to that.   Tonight, Mom is planning to start on Haddie's poodle skirt so here's hoping that she has the skills :-).

At any rate, we asked Dad to download photos since our trick or treating days so without further ado, here's what Haddie and I have been up to:

Love,

Emerson & Hadley
