in the winter, fire is beautiful

~i woke up to snow on the ground and it is beautiful! it hasn't stopped snowing all day.

~ i am teaching 93 ballet students this year spread through 14 classes a week! my babies say the funniest things and my older girls bless and challenge my heart with their love for the Lord at such a young age and their prayers and hearts to serve Him. beautiful.

~ i am teaching a deaf girl this year and that has been the most wonderful experience. she is so cute and it's so fun seeing her finding friends among the other girls there and having a place she feels she belongs. i am learning a little sign language and it's been really cool!

baby ballerina quotes:

natalie: "miss sarah grace i want to have all the colors of the rainbow"
me: "how many colors is that?"
natalie: "TWENTY!"

while trying to do sit ups..
isabella: "miss sarah grace i keep trying to sit up but my back pulls me right back down again!"

~ i am so thankful for my wonderful family... we had a really great thanksgiving holiday weekend together and i'm looking forward to the Christmas season...

~ 22 days til my birthday... i'm going to be 24 and that seems REALLY old for some reason.

~ next weekend i get to sing the most gorgeous christmas music with my sister for our old choir conductors christmas concert in chicago with the youth choral theatre of chicago - i am beyond excited and cannot wait to sing beautiful music again! :)

~i think that's everything for now.. hopefully it will be a shorter time between this and my next blog posting...
