Start of Summer

Memorial Day weekend was a great unofficial summer kickoff with the family picnic at the club. Nina couldn't get enough of the pony rides and loved getting some awesome face paint. She continues to love a good princess dress-up wedding, and got to enjoy a Mommy date to Dave and Busters. She is ever the loving big sister, always ready to help Andrew feel good even if it's just by holding his hand in the car.

Nina’s First Ballet Recital

Nina joined the children's division ballet academy of the Cincinnati Ballet back in January. Her Sunday ritual of getting picked up by Nanna, attending class downtown, and having lunch with Nanna and Papa was a hit every week.

Nina was thrilled to receive her costume as tue recital date came closer. I was anxious for her, performing on stage for the first time in front of a whole auditorium. It was all unnecessary because Nina was a star, performing her moves with gusto and good timing, and smiling bright the whole time. I am just happy that she loves ballet and is brave enough to perform. Way to go Nina!
