Grace had the pleasure of visits by two different second cousins in the past month. First was Molly, who came up from art school to spend a night with Gram and The Gracer. Molly is an amazing artist and an all around cool person. She's even taken some of the pictures you see to the right, including Grace bawling her head off, and the great shot of Grace's tiny foot. We loved having her visit, and all felt a little more with-it for having been around her!
Next up was Ags. Aggie has made 2 visits to us recently while she's been in town for auditions with ballet companies. Being in the presence of a real live ballerina was inspiring to Grace, and she immediately dressed for the occasion.
She had some questions about the lack of arch support in these ballet slippers, however.

| wearing a tutu is so much fun! |
Aggie ended her visit with an introductory ballet class. Grace lived up to her name and shows a promising future.
Thanks for the visits, cousins! Coming from an Irish Catholic family, only about another hundred or so second cousins to go.
Of course Grace looks like a natural & the tutu is perfect!! Love it & now I'm really jealous!

Sweet Grace - your second cousin Molly, is totally cool and happens to be Grammy's goddaughter. As for Ags, she is named after Granny (my mom) as was I - who was totally cool. There are a ton of other cousins who are cool or who think they are (I'm talkin' about you Uglies), but they have yet to visit the Big Apple. Just sayin' - bring it if you want to get on the blog.
ReplyDeletexoxo love ya, baby - Grams

Look out Broadway - Grace is in training! She has so many teachers and coaches and her love of music is awesome! She touches your heart just looking at her! We will see you and hug you in a few days!
ReplyDeleteCan't wait until she fits into those shoes! Then I can teach her how to pointe her little piggies. She is going to be an awesome dancer! She shows great potential with the stretching and as demonstrated in the "block dance", she obviously has rhythm! E-mail me those pics! She's too stinkin' cute!
ReplyDeleteLove,
Ags

DeleteGrace, you are tu-tu cute!!!!! Love ya
ReplyDeleteGrace, you have the moves and the style to be a prima ballerina! Ben wants to let you know that he also comes from a large Catholic family and has about a hundred second cousins too. So he and Grace will probably need a big church for their wedding!
