My Skating Princess…and Prince
I decided to meet Mel and McCanless at the skating rink last night to see how well my little skater is progressing. Or skaters, I should say! I think Daddy is getting pretty good, too! Mel bought McCanless skates a few months ago and I have yet to see her in action in her new big girl skates. (Complete with pom poms and all.) I’m sure she would have settled for cheapos from Target but you know Mel, he had to order the REAL deal from the skating rink. I think she could skate professionally with these.
I was able to capture a few videos when she decided to take a few minutes to come talk to her mother. She was far too busy with her little friends to come chat with Mommy and baby sister.
I wish I had Mel on video. He has been working on his “backward skating.” I think he loves going to socialize and show off just as much as McCanless!
Here she is on the carpet section doing rather well. She zooms much quicker has much more confidence on the carpet.
(I guess I would too!)
I know it looks like she is going in the WRONG direction, but I realized that she likes skating to the middle section!
I was pretty impressed with my little princess. (Daddy-not so much) Her skates are just like big girl skates and are not tightened, like they sometimes do for little ones. She has so much fun and loves her weekly dates with Daddy!
Sharing fries with Carter, a skating pal. (Carter is also in her 3K class at First Baptist)

How fun!!! Your family is so cute…talk about personality! McCanless looks like a go-getter and what a great skater she is! Mary Clare is so lucky to have such a spunky big sister…watching them grow up together will be such a joy. I so enjoyed talking to you yesterday, thanks for taking the time to call me. I’ll keep in touch and have a great weekend!
Love, Katie Allred

I can’t believe the skating rink is still around. It seems like yesterday we were having birthday parties for the Woodham children. Watching McCanless is just reliving a wonderful period in time with my babies.
Mel, I’m proud of you skating with McCanless. I do have a video of Bubba hitting the floor while showing off, at least he was trying. I was too afraid I’d hurt myself….then who would take care of everyone? Kerri? Probably!
Love, Nonnie

Kerri, McCanless is so darn cute. Her personality just spills out all over the place. You and Mel
must laugh alot with her around. Not to leave out Mary Clare. She is a doll. What a happy baby she seems to be.
Thanks for sharing your girls and bringing lots of smiles to our faces.
