Wednesday, November 29, 2006Fingers and Toes
   First, the toes. The week before Thanksgiving was "Parent Observation Week" at the girls' ballet school. Asking me to show up to something like that without a camera is like asking me to show up without my arms. Above, you can see just a few of the half-a-million or so shots that I took.Rachel is first; I'm just so proud of her for having been promoted to Ballet III this year. She's sweet as can be, and her strength right now is the beauty of her arms. Would that I could look so graceful. The first picture of Maggie is during her regular Ballet IV class; the second is, obviously, during her Pointe class. To see my daughter on her toes -- she, who for the past six years has dreamed of the day she would dance en pointe -- was beyond earthly description. You should have seen her walking across the floor (to Respighi -- I love Respighi). I would have been flat on my face after the first step. Secondly, the fingers. Much to my chagrin, this blog has begun to be inundated with spam in the comment boxes. That's why I've had to turn on the word verification. I'm so sorry! I hate those things -- especially since Blogger sometimes forgets that it needs to actually display some letters so that wannabe commenters can type them. Small problem there. But I'm tired of deleting stupid posts that say, "Hi, don't delete this," followed by a string of useless and occasionally quite nasty links. So your fingers are going to have to do a little extra work when you leave a comment here. Eric will say "I told you so," but what can I do? I held out as long as I could. And now it's back to writing...and to wishing I had some chocolate... |

7of my readers are feeling chatty:
Both girls are absolutely beautiful. Gracefulness (is that even a word Mrs Jillian?) must run on Eric's side, right?!
Snickle Dear -- Eric, if you recall, is the one who fell backwards off his chair and had to go to the ER with a back inclusion. :) I think this is just a genetic hiccup...or something....
Ahhh...to have girls! I will never get to have the ballet experience. *sigh*
I'm as graceful as a stampeding elephant.
I feel like one lately too. The holidays have never been kind to my waistline.
no worries on having to type in the letters, its a small thing to help block spammers
Such grace. They are so beautiful!!!!!
Both of your daughters are gorgeous!
Ohhhh en pointe tell her huge congrats from an ex ballet dancer. Miss Five has her recital soon, watch me bawl like a baby I am hopeless lol.
