The graceful pinball…

Emily possesses an amount of raw energy (and destructive power) that would be the envy of most rugby teams. Much of the time, she reminds me of a human pinball (especially on days when arctic weather traps her inside). Last week it was her turn to show her more refined side, demonstrating what she’s learned this year in ballet class.

While not the most disciplined student in her class, it’s fairly obvious that she has natural grace that can’t be taught (and, like her sister, beauty that takes my breath away).emily_6693 (683x1024)IMG_6730 (683x1024)IMG_6715 (1024x683)IMG_6668 (651x1024)I couldn’t be prouder of both my beautiful ballerinas.
