our little ballerinas

Ryenne and Emmy polished off another year of ballet lessons in style at their recent recital. 

It was so fun to see them light up the stage.

I can't tell you how often Courtney is offered sympathy for the amount of dance recitals he will have to attend.  Just between you and I, I don't think he minds.  There is something special about watching little girls do what little girls do best.  Whether it's watching Kate stand on her head or Ryenne and Emmy glide across the stage, we are smitten.  Not because of what they are doing, but because of the way their faces glow while they are doing it. 

Ballet buns, tights, and leotards. . . when it comes to our little girls, true love often wears a tutu.
