Wednesday, August 26, 2009. Card games, swimming and dancing. Those three activities are Sasha's favorite at the moment. She loves Ballet. She hasn't taken any classes yet, but we read books about it, watch short ballet videos, and I've taught her the basic steps from what I remember as a child. She dances in her room in front of the mirror, and even has an attentive audience:. She's a pro at Uno, Old Maid, Go Fish, Pick up Sticks, and Crazy 8s. Sunday, August 16, 2009. From here and there.

Saturday, December 27, 2008. A few more random pictures. We went to see The Nutcracker, performed by the Boston Ballet. We got the cheapest seats, but it was surprisingly a perfect view and we were all amazed by the performance! After each pair of dancers performed (in Act II) I concluded that those had been my favorite. But the next group were just as good or better. It was really beautiful. She did really well considering it was so long and it was around bedtime. Sasha got her first haircut! We've been...
