On Pointe
this girl has grace.
she was so beautiful this weekend in The Nutcracker
that it was my proudest moment(performance wise)as a mother.
she blew us all away. my hands were over my mouth and salty tears filled my cheeks.
not only is she graceful, she's got class.
her movement on stage is so precise that i think she could quit all
of her other 9 other activities and study ballet.
but it's not her passion.
but she has a gift.
i snuck behind stage to see her off and wish her well,
and to grab a picture together!
she has been dancing since she was 3, and ballet has secretly or not so secretly (haha) been my fave.
i don't know what it is about ballet, do you?
i adore it so much. at first i thought it was just the costumes, but it's so much more than that; their technique, their movement, the music, the romance, the gracefulness.
i am captivated by it.

and then when my daughter started to study on Pointe, i about lost it in happiness and excitement!
but it's not her passion as i said before. so she won't be taking it beyond after she graduates next year. and i'm ok with that.
it's what she wants, not what i dream of. i support her choices, and commend her for taking it this far.
i know i know, i didn't get the tip of the pointe (wow)
this girl's got a lot more than grace on stage.
she's got grace off the stage too, and compassion, and a loving heart, and a zest and zeal for life like no other.
this girl can not only dance her butt off, but she's involved in a handful of other things. she's a leader at church, a class officer, an actress, singer, and mentor.
she's got all the activities on a resume and experience and grades that any one college could dream of, but
she's got something more than any of that.
she knows she's a Kings kid. she loves God.
she loves others. she cares deeply.
she's pure and good.
and she's got a heart of gold.
not to mention she's fun.
{here are some not so great pictures i took during the performance and on top of the fact that i'm an awful photographer, i also didn't take that many b/c i didn't want to miss out on her!} i think you'll still enjoy these

it was one of the greatest moments as a mother to date. i honestly wish i could find the words to express what it was like.
grandparents are always so supportive!
i think maybe lovely, yes, it's life made lovely.

Yesterday was my 3 year-old daughter's first "show"... so emotional, I couldn't help my tears, a little happy xmas star jumping around in enthousiasm... she was so happy... my tears were all over... my cheeks, my eyes (how embarassing), my throat (ouch). My dream is to see her just like you saw your beautiful ballerina and be so so so proud!
Congrats, you've done a wonderful job :)
