Back to Dance and School

Auditions went well for Lainey this year! It's hard to believe that this is her SEVENTH audition for this studio! Crazy! 

Each year, we go to Mama's Pizza the night before school starts. I'm thankful that our family of four could enjoy this tradition TOGETHER this year!

AND...here they are, on the first day of 5th and 3rd. ;) All smiles, and they both have amazing teachers, and we are all thankful to enjoy this school year together as a family.

Here's Walker in his classroom. His teacher is darling! Lainey wouldn't let us walk in with her this year. She's barely letting Walker walk in with her, which is surprising as they are very close. He doesn't seem bothered by it, so that's a good thing. ;)

Lainey's goals for dance this year...mostly ballet-oriented! This surprised me! :) I love her last goal, too - to "have fun"! It's a reminder for me that she still views dance as a very fun activity...where as I'm beginning to view it as a very competitive and expensive one. :) Ha!
