"When we had our children, our ideas changed somewhat. Thenceforward we lived only for them; they made all our happiness and we would never have found it save in them. In fact, nothing any longer cost us anything; the world was no longer a burden to us. As for me, my children were my great compensation, so that I wished to have many in order to bring them up for Heaven" -- Saint Zelie Martin, mother of St. Therese of Lisieux, canonized October 18, 2015 along with her husband St. Louis Martin.

Dress Rehearsal

Dead center, hands clasped.  
Eyes on teacher.  Pretty uncertain as to what to do.



Intently moving to the special circle on the floor where she knows she starts.




 Suddenly the music starts, and we get a smile!



"Baby ballerina so petite, baby ballerina dancing feet"


I have four girls, my oldest is 16, and we've never done a ballet performance before this spring.


Watching my youngest daughter in her little pink tutu fulfilled in me all kinds of dreams.  I've read too many Angelina Ballerina books over the years.  I'm pretty sure Eowyn felt exactly how a little girl performing in a pink tutu for the first time should feel.





I'm pretty sure I'll never be a "dance mom", but I stood at the foot of the stage and recorded and photographed with the best of them!

dancing to the beat of her own drum here...

Rosie and Galadriel also performed, each girl's own personality came out so much, I'm going to have to give them each their own post.  Eowyn was all exuberance and cuteness.  My perfect little pink ballerina!
