On Winter Weekends…

Big kiddo is auditioning for two ballet companies for their summer intensive programs.  One is in NYC and one in Chicago.  We had to have pictures of her in first arabesque, and I had no idea taking ballet pictures would be so difficult.  We did manage to get several good ones despite my ineptitude with my camera skills…

En Pointe…

Today was a big day in our house….


Em had dance classes today (Ballet and PrePointe) and the teacher called us in during PrePointe to announce that “the girls on the left side of the room can get TOE SHOES!”

If you are a girl who has ever taken dance you can remember WANTING those pink, beribboned beauties.

The girls were so cute acting like they didn’t care until we were out of the door and then all met at the shoe store together! (Even before lunch, which is saying alot!)

My baby “en pointe!”

Saturdays are going to be fun- 2 dance classes and 2 separate Nutcracker practices… Guess I know what I’ll be doing for awhile!
