Grace's enrichment teacher made her this bookmark that now lives in her Harry Potter book. I think it is so sweet, and so Grace!
Her dance recital was this last weekend. She was over the moon for the costume. "So. Many. SPARKLES!" Grammie Marla and Papa Jeff were able to swing in for the weekend. Her class did a cute tap routine to Jackson 5's "ABC".
I've been asking her what she wants to do next year- if she wants to continue with dance, or try something new. At first, she told me she wants to play football. Once I made it clear that this isn't an option, she started tossing between gymnastics and her school's swim team. But reaching the end of the dance season has been a sad thing for her and she has a good friend at church who is in a ballet class that Grace would like to try... I'm glad to have a couple of months off. We'll take a break and figure it out before school starts.

With her piano teacher, Miss Jeanette. Grace doesn't run to the piano to practice anymore (I figured that wouldn't last long) but she still enjoys playing. Miss Jeanette has been a great fit for us. She is very well trained and taught for years before taking a break to raise her 5 children. She is just getting back into teaching now, Grace was her first student. We are glad we took a chance on her! She is so patient with Grace and enthusiastic about their lessons together. And, she comes to our house for lessons, a convenience which has been a great blessing to me this year. We are really happy about the progress Grace is making.

What a fun costume. Grace looks adorable, and is a girl of many talents. It must be fun to watch those talents emerge and develop.
So wish we could have been there for Grace's recital - she looked adorable!
Love you all!
