Today Anna started her ballet classes, as part of a gift from Tante Heidi, at the David Huntington YMCA. She has been asking to begin because she thinks that ballet is the height of femininity. We have also wanted her to begin some organized activity/sport/class.
It amazes me how quickly she is growing into a nice young lady. Of course, there are still the battles that come along with shaping a young will, and that is all part of Christian discipleship. Anyhow, she is really excited and loves the class.
We got her ballet gear at a great little store downtown called Kicks. They have a really strange 15% off all things at all times rule. Why don't they just reduce the costs 15%?The gym requires a certain uniform for the sake of 'uniform'ity. It is really cute seeing a dozen little ballerinas all lined in a row.
We have watched a couple of classic ballets to prepare her for class. Of course, she realized that she would not be prancing about, but learning little skills of discipline and grace.
Pray for her as she begins this new phase of life. She also wanted to tell Pastor Lanning that she has begun ballet because he is such a big fan of it. He actually recommends that all seminary students take at least one semester of ballet to learn some grace.

She is so beautiful and we are thankful that she can take classes. Thank you, Aunt Heidi. We can't wait to see her dance!
Wow! I can't believe how grown up she looks!
Yes, I'm sure the Rev. will love having a fellow ballet fan in the church. Maybe they can go to matinees of the Nutcracker together next year. He had to go all by himself this past year.
No, he went with Loretta and Mom.
I've been noticing lately how big Anna is looking. She must be growing lately. Just wait, next thing you know she'll be Sydney's age and taking care of your 4th boy. (insert evil cackle here)
