First Day of Ballet

Preparing to leave for her big day, Sophia doesn't forget to ham it up with Edison!
All dressed up and ready to dance!! If you wonder why her bangs look so crooked...not only is she an aspiring ballerina....but a hairdresser as well. Below the little girls mingle before class begins. Her outfit (white leotard, white skirt with a blue silk ribbon, tights, and leather shoes) has not yet arrived from Santiago, so for now you can pick her out by her little black tooshy. She is still needing to wear eye patches and glasses to correct her wandering eye. Please pray that God would heal her eye so that we would not have to consider surgery.
Blessings!

So cute! What a beautiful photograph! Sigh... Its times like these I wish I had a girl in the house. Too much testosterone... so tired of playing cars... so tired of talking about hockey and trucks and motorcycles...

Ballet is so fun! Enjoy! Joy just had her recital and she thoroughly enjoyed herself again. She was working through a choice between ballet and soccer and guess what...she chose ballet again! Go, Sophia!

Did Dustin drive his truck in the building through the wall to pick you guys up?

We will be praying for Sophia and her eye.

Paul...our truck never actually operates...it likes to spend its time sitting in repair shops, gouging holes in our pockets ; P. But I'm sure he would if he could!

Sarah: Esse Quam Videri. "To be, rather than to appear" title of your blog, I really like it who is the quote by? I may use it in a sermon next week.
