Christina had her dance recital and it went really well. I had thought she was in the back for all her dances and was upset about it, but it turns out that I just suck at picking her out with a camera. I took over 600 photos at the dress rehearsal and she was barely visible in all of them. After watching the performance, there were lots of opportunities for me to take pictures of her in the front. Apparently I have some work to do when it comes to dance photography. We went out to eat with Rosina and Dion afterwards – it means so much that they come all the way from Daytona for these things, especially on a work day. I hope Christina is proud.

Today was recital dress rehearsal marathon day. We left the house at 1:45 and didn’t get home until 9:20. Long afternoon. Luckily after a few years, I know to go prepared, so it was tolerable. I played with my new camera so much that I used up the battery by the time they were halfway through. I even have two spare batteries, but I left them at home because I never expected I’d use one up like that! Now I know. I’ll have to look at the photos on my laptop tomorrow or Thursday to see how it did. The photos looked a little blurry in the low light, but I’m hoping some came out ok. I had fun playing around – I just wish I had more shots of Christina’s dances and not everyone else’s.

Christina had her dress rehearsal for Sunday’s recital this afternoon. It’s so cool watching Christina grow into her dancing, especially knowing how much she loves it. It was a five-hour long rehearsal, which probably irritated many parents, but this is one of those mom things that I’m thrilled to get to do with Christina. Just look at her!
