The Denos.

People tell me all the time, “you’re so good at capturing their real personalities!” For some kids, yes, I have to work harder to get them to relax and be themselves but for other kids, liiiiike I can’t capture anything BUT who they really are because they can’t just turn that off. 🤣 Sloane and Charlotte are silly 100% of the time.

Sloane physically cannot stop dancing. Movement is so deep in her bones that standing still just isn’t an option. She’s like allll the tweens with TikTok who don’t even realize when they’re doing the dances! Side note. While coaching 7/8th grade volleyball, legit about to serve to these kids and they’re full on in choreography and we stand there like, ‘you good?’ “oh ahahaha, ya!’ because they were in a dance trance and we didn’t want them to get hit in the face before they snapped out of it. If you know, you know. 🤯

Happy 13, loves!

“Bring your cheeks together…ok, maybe a bit more gently!” 🥴

😍😍😍

“Stand close enough where you can touch heads….again…not so much like that.” 🤣

Y’all are adorable.

If ‘never let them know your next move,’ was a person…

Juicy secrets!!

Some kids step up and just slump forward having no idea what to do. Other kids step up like,💥 POSE💥.

I will say, Charlotte is less outgoing while that other one…😳.

One day they may become someone other than their Daddy with long hair, but today is not that day. 🥰

That wonderful warm Fall evening we had was so delightful, I want it back! I love how their genes distributed in such a way that they mirror Dad’s looks but have all the goofy outgoingness in them to act just like Mom. 😍 So fun to see them becoming real little humans with big emotions. Happy Thanksgiving, Denos! Heart, Melanie
