I finally have pictures of Annalise at her dance class. For parent watch day in December I brought my camera but realized that the picture card was still in the computer...ugh! These are of her doing tap. The dance they had prepared in December was amazing. It is incredible to see how far Annalise has come in dance over the past 3 years. She is always saying that dance class is such hard work and I kind of doubted her until I actually saw it for my own eyes...it is a really tough workout!
She has accomplished my reason for putting her in dance class which was to learn some gracefulness...this is something I definitely cannot show her. I'm the wold's biggest klutz and the only gracefulness I can show my kids is how to trip gracefully.
She follows all the moves really well, can follow the beat and looks really good doing tap. But the really cool thing is when she does ballet...she is absolutely beautiful. She even does those really pretty, graceful hand movements that ballerinas do and her arms have that real fluid motion when she moves them. She took my breath away when I watched her because I wondered what happened to my baby...she looks like she's at least 12! She is a vision of beauty and grace and an absolute joy to watch. She is finally tall enough to look elegant. I can't wait for the recital this year!
What a beautiful gift it is to watch her praise her Lord through dance...even though it does make me cry to watch my girl (she has lost the "little") How the years have flown!

You might have been clumsy on land but in the water you were as graceful as Annalise is when she dances. Looking from up high toward the pool we could see how methodical any swimming stroke is(especially the backstroke). There is always a rythem to a stroke and then at the end of the pool there is a lot of white water and then you are magiclly turned around and continue in your heat without even losing a beat. Watching competative swim always seemed graceful to me all while not being able to breathe real air. Don't sell yourself short, Jennie.
Holy smokes she is a dead ringer for you and Steph combined.
She is gorgeous! (And..I want to know about this dance class...RG could use some gracefullness!)
