SU Square Dance

There is always so much fun to be had at the beginning of a new school year.  This year has certainly been no exception.  On Friday, New Student Orientation began at Simpson.  It's amazing to feel the campus come alive after being quiet and calm during the summer months.  Priya was overjoyed to see many of her old friends back on campus and was eager to greet the incoming students and their families.  She is SO energized by people so students coming back to school is always a very special time for her.  

Although Josiah isn't quite as outgoing as his big sis, he was quite excited by the hustle and bustle around campus.  He loves to be outside, taking in new sites so he thoroughly enjoyed people watching throughout the day.  He smiled and greeted people with giggles as they moved into the residence halls.

This evening, we attended the annual BBQ and Square Dance.  Fun was, of course, had by all.  Priya especially had a blast playing with her new friend, Fin, who is the son of Paul and Amanda Stonehouse, Faculty-in-Residence here at SU.  They just moved into one of the residence halls on campus.  Priya and Fin are just 4 months apart and have already become great buddies. 

  

 

 

 

Ashish's parents and Ami stopped by part-way through the evening and were able to join in on the festivities.

 

 

Getting a little bit tired from all of that dancing (not to mention the heat).

 

I will be extremely surprised if Josiah doesn't end up with music in his future in some form.  He loves music!  He falls asleep when I sing to him, sings along when music is playing, claps to the beat of music and below tried to dance along- almost on beat! :)
