One Last Time

In which Grace sews her final pair of pointe shoes as a CSDS dancer. xo 

Today At Church

 

When you have pointe shoes to sew for a friend but also want to attend worship. xo

Saturday Morning Sewing

Today, Grace and Emma went over to their friend Adelaide's house so that Grace could share her pointe shoe sewing wisdom with Adelaide. When I arrived to pick them up they were still working on their shoes so it gave me a chance to chat with Adelaide's mom (and my dear friend) Clare. Emma and Adalaide have been dancing together since kindergarten and have such a sweet friendship (the kind I hope lasts forever). Grace, Emma and Adelaide are such a good trio and I am so grateful that not only are they such good friends but that our families are wonderful friends too! xo 

 

A Special Ending To The Year

Today, Emma is officially "all grown up" in the dance world. 

Today she received her first pair of pointe shoes! 

She's a natural! 

And since we were going for Emma's fitting we figured we might as well get Grace a new pair too. Ever since the moment she had her first pair on she has made this look effortless. 

My babies are all grown up! 

It's like they were born to do this! 

Definitely the most special New Year's Eve we've ever had! xo

{This Moment} At The Barre

{This Moment} A weekend ritual. A single photo (or two) -no words- capturing a moment from the week. A simple, special, extraordinary moment. A moment I want to pause, savor and remember. Wishing you all a blessed and magical 2020! xo 

Baby's First Pointe Shoes

And just like that she's all grown up (at least in the dance world)! Such a very special day today and I can't wait until we get to do it all over again when it's Emma's turn! xo
