Ballet and the Cold

February came, and still no snow in the city.  Keira was missing the snow we had seen on the mountain, so she cut up some bubble wrap, put it in a bowl, and stuck it in the fridge to make it cold.

The other kids were good keeping warm with lots of coffee and hot chocolate.  When we first moved in, we were cooking, washing dishes, and doing school in big ski jackets, but with the heaters working in a few rooms, it made a difference in what we all wore.

Every five to six weeks, the French school that Keira attends takes a week off.  During their February break, the dance studio asked all the French school ballet students to help out with a project.  A TV station wanted to make a video for children, teaching them how to do ballet in their homes.  This was the first time they videoed, and they've done it a couple of times since.

It's a blessing to live where we live so that Keira gets opportunities like this.

It just so happens that all of the little ballet girls are Keira's best friends, so afterward they enjoyed an afternoon play time together.






Sweet girls!
