I Love Weekends.....

Her Moment

Her moment to shine

To be in the spotlight

First time in a dressing room

Costume, bun and ballet slippers

Make-up too

She beams as she scans the audience

Searching for familiar faces

Ensuring the people she loves can see her

The look of concentration

My palms are sweaty

My heart is racing

I'm nervous, yet she is not at all

She dances her little heart out

Soaking up the experience of her first big moment

Applause

Flowers

Giggles

Friendship

So glad I was there

For her first big moment

I LOVE WEEKENDS, especially now that I have someone over the age of 8 to spend them with. We kicked off the weekend with Greek Fest in the pouring rain followed by the Stan

ley Cup game (with beer and nachos, of course) and finished with Aunaka's dance recital....Rob's first dance recital experience...I think he liked it. While Aunaka spend the in between with her dad, Rob and I explored some new places. We took a walk through Frog Pond, climbed to the top of the Dingle Tower and explored Dead Man's Island (which, by the way, is not really an island, but beautiful none the less).

As Aunaka digs deeper into the world of dance, it warms my heart to watch her shine on stage. It is obvious that she has found her passion, you go girlie, dance your way through life and don't let anyone stop you. I just love her, she is so full of life and attitude (as the last picture shows).

Life is good.
