First Lesson


I told Chloe it was finally the day of her first ballet class....and she said "I'm nervous." 

Once I explained that I wasn't just going to throw her out of the van and wave as I was driving off, she calmed down.  I resisted having her walk in with April and I - she was a few steps ahead, walking confidently, and I let her :)  I almost tripped over her once we got inside though, because she had stopped dead in her tracks.  We found her room and in she went! Then, they closed the door! So, this is the only picture of the 'class time' that I have....

This little Miss wore her shade the entire time we were there, and then we headed to a near-by playground to swing while we waited. 


Totally cool ballerina, looking for her water bottle.  I asked her what she did, and she said "ballet stuff". :)  
I was proud of how brave she was, trying something new with no tears! She woke up the next day expecting to put on her tights and go again :)

More Bloopers

These pictures just make me laugh ~ especially the last two. I have a feeling that Aunt Laura, in particular, will think those last two are funny also. :)

A dear friend

I'm leading the study tomorrow at my Bible Study. We're reading a book called Crazy Love by Francis Chan and the chapter I'm in 'charge of' of real life examples of people who are living completely for Christ. I've come up with an example from my own life to talk about and I thought I'd let my blog readers in on what I'm going to share tomorrow. Enjoy! I met Mrs. Hohman on a hot July afternoon after mistakenly knocking on her neighbor’s door. I stood on her front porch with my mom, nervously waiting to meet the woman I planned on living with for my first year at Grove City . I felt like I was towering over her short frame as she showed me the 3 rd floor and barked the rules of “no swearing, no smoking, no boys”. I handed over my rent check and moved to her house in late August. September came and a fellow freshman had a mental breakdown and her bed was now available to me…… So, after 3 weeks of living with Mrs. Hohman I moved out....
