Twirling Ballerinas

The month of May has chugged in at a steady pace and is passing by as quickly as the express train from Washington DC to New York City. I feel I have blinked once and here we are at the end of school. Really? I just can't believe school only has one half day left! May is notoriously busy with recitals, end of school year projects and happenings, teacher's gifts to buy, parties to attend  . . . oh and don't forget Howie's birthday, Mother's Day and a wedding anniversary too. One of the highlights of May is definitely the dance performance the girls participate in with their dance studio at the Tennessee Theater. This year the girls each danced in a ballet piece and a modern piece during the performance. Although I feel my photos from this year's performance are not as wonderful as they could be, I am posting them for posterity's sake. Emma-Caroline danced in "Garland" for her ballet piece and "Nepali" for her modern piece. Sophie danced in "Raceway" for her modern piece and "Peasants" for her ballet piece.  We were happy that Emma-Caroline's first grade teacher, Ms. Ellison, our wonderful baby sitter Miss Ali and our friend Mary Caroline were also able to join us to watch the performance. We are very proud of our little dancers! I will be back soon to catch up on more May happenings. Happy summer!
