Michelle's Ballet Recital - June 4, 2010

Michelle had her second ballet recital. She really loves ballet and dances all over the house or anytime she hears music. This was an event that she anticipated for weeks. Every day she would ask if it was her recital yet. I love that she has a passion for something at a young age. Lots of our family came from out of town. Before the recital we went outside and took pictures of our little ballerina.

This year Michelle's class did a dance to "Pretty Woman". It was so cute. Michelle actually did most of the dance this year instead of just looking out into the audience and being lost.

Flowers and final bows!

Of course Uncle Mike started this thing last year of having Michelle sign her autograph on his program. This year signing autographs continued. She was proud of herself that she could write her own name and not just the first letter.

After Michelle's recital, everyone came back to our house for a BBQ. Michelle has decided that this has to be the tradition every year after her recital. It was a lot of fun. Michelle really is making progress in her ballet and still loving it. We hope this continues!

Charles' Kindergarten Graduation

What an exciting and sad day to see your Kindergartner graduate. Charles was so excited to graduate and become a first grader. Mom was sad because her little boy is growing up. Next year he will be in school all day and mom is not sure she is ready for that. Graduation was good. The theme was "Oh the Places You'll Go" from Dr. Seuss.

Here are the classes coming in getting ready.

Charles really had a good year in Kindergarten. He loved recess, PE, Spanish, computers, math, and music. He learned a lot and had some great experiences. We are very proud of him and hope that his love for learning will only increase in first grade!!
