Fall Family Photos

We had our pictures taken again this year by the talented Rachael Sherwood. She did a great job last year, and we were excited to try out a new venue. We started out in a park in Manitou Springs.







Then took a few downtown, by the library and the shops.








And finished up at Garden of the Gods.


I love living around the beauty of Colorado.

Dance

Emma & Rachel both started some dance classes this fall. Rachel did dance when she was very little, then tried a variety of sports, before she decided to try dancing again. With us moving around a lot, we never really had a chance to find a good studio. Luckily, there is a great dance/gymnastics studio right here in Monument. Emma decided to give it a try as well.

Rachel takes Ballet and Modern. I think she likes the modern the best, but ballet is really good for improving your technique. She really enjoys what she is learning. I took this picture really quick one day with my cell phone, so excuse the poor quality.



Emma is taking a combo class - it's tap, ballet, and gymnastics. I'll let her decide which one she likes the best and focus on that next year. Again, another cell phone picture. I need to keep my camera handy!



Emma's class had a little "recital" for the parents. Emma's class won't be a part of the official recital in the Spring, because it is a special combo class.


Emma thinks she likes gymnastics the best, I guess we'll wait and see!
