Being one of several kids is good because you're never alone growing up. The pictures of your daughter are so sweet!

Believe it or not, I literally just said "Ohhh" out loud as I looked at the photos of Michaela Byrd in her darling little leotard and ballet slippers. I think maybe there's something about her with her hair up that just melts your heart. Both your girls are so beautiful--but honestly, that photo of you with your sister and brother looks just like one of your girls!!

I found dance again at age 25 and it was truly my passion. (still is-just only in my mind;)<br /><br />Michaela already has the carriage in her neck and shoulders. It's challenging to teach the 'babies' as we called them, but once in a while someone like Michaela comes along. <br /><br />I hope she continues to love it as much as I do!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16035162010653647567noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4550079205854272848.post-18700265681430435332011-09-26T13:24:18.578-04:002011-09-26T13:24:18.578-04:00Wo!

It's so hard being a parent--you want to provide all these opportunities to your children, gymnastics, music lessons, dancing, etc. But who has the time? Let alone the money.
