A Full Day

Saturday morning.  We rose with the sun.  

On this cool autumn morning, our destination was a small race where the boy ran hard beside his dad.  They had fun and finished strong.

After congratulations and a brief cool down, we loaded back up, stopped for coffee and donuts, then headed to the park so that the littlest sprite could stretch before her dance performance. 

She took her bow, tossed me her jazz shoes, and we ran to the van so that we wouldn't be late to the next stop.  We ate lunch as we drove to the playhouse for the middle sprite's performance.  The Friday night before was the show opening, so the jitters were gone and she bounded up the stairs to the dressing room with a business like determination.  The show was again a great success.  

Now we are home.  Exhausted, but content with a day on the go doing the things we love.  

They are all beautiful in their own unique way.  Each different, each talented.   And even in their diversity, they cheer each other on.   They are lovely little people.
