Cotillion and Football

Tonight was Rayna's debut into the world of cotillion!  She went to her very first class where she learned how to "sit pretty," use manners when arriving at or leaving a party, be escorted, and get food in a proper manner.  She also learned the Foxtrot, the Cupid Shuffle, and the Carolina Shag dances.  It was so lovely to see all the young gentlemen and ladies being instructed in such wonderful ways.  (I learned a thing or two myself!)

 I think this will be a great year for her!

Meanwhile, Strider has been hitting people, plowing guys over, and stealing balls from them.

Football season is in full swing, with practices every night and, of course, Friday Night Lights.  Here are a couple lame pictures I took last Friday.  Strider is somewhere in there -- on the blue team.

I'm not sure which is more exciting to Rayna -- going to the game, or getting herself dressed for it.  She is always very particular about what she wears!
