This is Dahlia's 3rd year taking ballet at the Veronica Martinelli Dance School. Every year they put on a great show and I just swell with joy and pride each time I see her come out on stage. Dahlia has blossomed from 'clinging for dear life to my legs' to actually enjoying dance and it's been so good for her.
Here she is with her BF, Angel, before the show, looking a little nervous (which I explained is a good thing) ;-)
Curtain up......
....and in come the munchkins, dressed as genies.
Check out the hip action!!!
They did do more than just pose but it's somewhat blurry - better on video which will come eventually :-)Bravo!
Of course the last thing I said to her before she went backstage is "don't forget to smile", I think she did forget because she was very concerned about her hair piece and hat. It kept falling off - not much to hold on to. She did remember all her steps though. Whew.
The end!

Oh....and P.S. - I just finished watching "So you think you can dance" and I can't believe how lucky we are to be living in a time when we can watch people dance like that. They simply take my breath away. I'm sitting gob-smacked through the entire show. Just LOVE it!!
Hi, I'm Wanda. I am a happy woman, wife to Danny for...oh....lots a years and finally Mom to THE most adorable little girl from Hunan, China - Dahlia. And now we have been blessed again with another daughter, Milana, from Zhejiang, China. (The 2 best things I've ever done!)
We live in the Montreal area. After a loooonnngg wait for Dahlia's little sister Milana (pronounced - Mee-lana, like banana), we finally brought her home in August 2009. Dahlia came to us in Nov 2004 (at 20 months of age)and a year later we began the application for another baby - at the time the waiting period was around 8 months. Almost 4 years later (say what!?!)we, at last, brought Milana home.
This began as the story of our journey to bring Milana home and life with her big sister, Dahlia. It now continues as we live as a family of four!

SOOOOOO cute. It is breathtaking isn't it? As a Mom, sitting in your seat, holding your breath that all goes 'well' and trying to see her dance through the tears of pride?
Congratulations! Looks like a beautiful performance!
