...is for Gabrielle. My oldest daughter - my middle child. :0) She's my 'mini-me' which causes us to be best friends one minute and to butt heads the next. She's got her mama's smile, her inquisitive nature, her clumsiness, her artistic ability, her 'cry at the drop of a hat' sensitive nature, as well as her control issues. :0) Okay, enough talking in 3rd person. We are so much alike, it's scary! Gabby started pre-K this year and amazes not only us, but also her teacher, at how far ahead she is already. She's such a bright little girl and surprises me with her profound questions daily. My diva in training, girly-girl - purses, shoes, belts, jewelry & make-up - just a few of her favorite things! I know that we will have our hands full with this one when when she reaches teenage years - and then of course, her little sister following along, wanting to be just like her big sis! I seriously can't wait! :0)
...is for Grandpa. My dad is the best Grandpa that ever lived - just ask my kids! :0)
...is for Go-Go. I was introduced to Go-Go by my husband. It's an art that originates from the Northern VA/DC area - my hubby's home.
Chuck Brown is known as the godfather of go-go. He's well into his 70's and still performs! Click this to check out
his sound. You probably already know some of his work - 'Bustin' Loose' and 'Go-Go swing' were very big hits in the 70's and 80's. The beat of go-go music is infectious and it just makes you want to dance. The call & response part of it makes watching a go-go performance so much fun! Curtis was in a go-go band (he was the lead singer - or 'caller' as it's called in go-go) in his younger years and has a deep love for the music. The kids and I just think it's fun! :0)
