Ballerina Grace!

My sweet baby Grace is such a big girl now! Memorial Day weekend marked Grace's first dance recital, and she did fabulously! We joined dance class in January, and Grace enjoyed it so much. Thursdays with Miss Rachel were so much fun; Grace worked very hard (as was evidenced by her intense concentration on the placement of her feet during her dance)! We're very proud of you, baby girl!

Jackson ran for the hills as soon as we arrived at the recital. He was far more interested in the geese than Grace.

My beautiful ballerina

I can't believe how nervous I was before Grace came on stage. I knew how fun the pre-school dance classes were to watch, especially if there were one or two children who stood there, picked their noses, and twirled in circles. However, those children could not be mine! Grace did great! She even earned her very first ballerina trophy for a job wonderfully done! Bravo!
