Henry is "Staying Alive"

Okay. First off, my son can dance. In fact, he's got some pretty sick moves. He also apparently enjoys our family dance party on Friday nights.

Ladies, try not to faint.



A couple of important disclosures. Yes, that's house music. Maddy and Maura got Henry and Caroline hooked on "Crazy Frog" last year in Michigan...apparently Henry has not yet recovered (look it up at http://www.youtube.com/ if you want to get your children equally hooked).

Yes, our kids decided to do an homage to John Travolta from the 1983 box office bomb, "Staying Alive". I don't know if Henry was channeling Tony Manero, but you can make that comparison if you want to.

Yes, that's Erica and I laughing hysterically at the unchoreographed and very serious approach the H-Man takes to his dancing. I know there's a subtext in there somewhere, but if you saw this kid groove, you'd swear he was getting paid to do it.

Well, there went the baseball and football scholarship to IU. Do they offer any college scholarships for male dancers? Gulp. Anyone?

Wow man. Looks like you are keeping a fine tradition. Not to mention a cheap one at that! Our house music is a little diff here as Jeff strums the guitar. Zach likes to dance with no pants right now but I am sure that has to do with him "going potty like a big man". Yeah! Rock on! Kim
