Ballerina Babies

For the past eight months both girls have been enrolled in ballet at a school here in the Boonies. Recently we had their recital, which truly was hilarious joy rolled into approximately two minutes on stage. We’re getting the video soon, but for now have these gorgeous photos my sister-in-law Jenni took when we all got together to celebrate my ballerina babies.

The girls, pre-recital.

No one has ever captured my mischevious Alice so clearly before. This. is. her. Eric says she’s even doing the devil horns with her left hand!

My beautiful, gentle, ball-obsessed nephew Charlie, who can say Oo-cey! and Bu! and stuff cake in his mouth like a pro.

Speaking of cake, I surprised my girls with this.

Fire! Grammie and Lucy shooting off planes in the backyard setting sun.

Nana love!

Family.

Thank you, Jenni, for the best gift: recording our memories.

Lucy on Breakfast Television!

My Lucy and her kindergarten class were on Breakfast Television this morning! They spent months building a set and rehearsing a script, then filmed it and sent it in to the show.

Lucy plays the traffic reporter, complete with update from Tim Hortons :)

View the BT segment here, and here is a clip of the full production the class did.

“This thing sure is filled with memories. A lot of dirty bums. A lot of laughs. A lot of screaming.”

Another milestone part of leaving babyhood behind. We were both a little misty eyed seeing this go out the door. And oh, what fun to look back.
