Nora’s Dance Recital – Hip Hop and Ballet

Nora’s dance recital was this last weekend and she did a great job — her whole dance troop did! All of her hard work for the year really paid off!

Yeouch! Looks painful but she pulled it off

There were a lot more dancers in the hip hop piece and they moved around a lot more. It was harder to get pictures.

Even the backstage moms got to come on stage. Here Crystal #2 gets recognized after the finale.

Nora’s Spring Dance Recital

It has been a while since I downloaded pictures and posted a gallery. There are a lot more after this to post but I thought I would start with this gallery of images from Nora’s dance recital this year.

Nora’s Fall Dance Performance

This last weekend Nora had a dance performance at the SAES fall festival. She only had two numbers but she did great – all her dance practice is really paying off! I’ve thrown in a few macro photos of our verdant backyard. For more than a decade and four different houses everything seemed to die in our backyard. I was beginning to think it was me. Now, on house number five we are having success!

Nora wanted to close the back of the Santa Fe herself. It involves a bit of a leap of faith.

A rare point of eye contact with Dad and he could not surpress a smile.

Here are a few pictures from the month of June so far. Enjoy!

Nora ready for her dance pictures. Believe it or not Ben did the hair. It is more bobby pin than bun.

Dance Recital and Art Show

We are coming into the home stretch before vacation! There is a busy round of birthday parties as those with summer birthdays (inlcuding Kai) squeeze them in before the school year ends. Both Kai and Nora are ending the school year on a high note having had great teachers across the board!

Here are some pictures from Nora’s dance recital last weekend as well as the end-of-year Art Show at the Hills School. Enjoy!
